Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Extraordinary journey of personal growth and giving! Comment: When an author lets you into so many areas of his personal thoughts while taking on monumental challenges, the reader is afforded the wonderful opportunity to become emotionally attached and is rewarded with passion towards his achievements! Smiling with joy as Jeff takes us running around the world to remarkable places, recognizing his relationship with his father, the success of the "king of the hill", and the 100th! Jeff's outlook towards giving back, by training others who ran for charity is admirable. I loved the "why run the marathon?" laps and the tips at the end of each chapter. It is clever and most useful for anyone who wants to run; no matter the distance. Jeff's courage and attitude towards failure and success will certainly transcend to challenges in my life. What a story, what lessons, what a writer!!!!! More Reviews
Editorial Reviews: A book for anyone who loves to run marathons, by someone who loves them enough to have started and finished 100 of them! Jeffrey Horowitz didn't expect to fall in love with marathoning, but that's just what happened. He had never run a race, was not on his high school track team, and had never owned a pair of running shoes. Then, in 1985, he went out for a run and it changed his life. Eighteen years later he completed his one-hundredth marathon. This book is Jeff's story, but it is also the story of everyone who loves to run. It includes his training, his injuries, his best times, his joys, his friends, his failures. In some ways, it's an unusual story. How many other runners have finished 100 marathons? In other ways, it is the story of every runner who has found joy and satisfaction in a training routine, in reaching a goal, or in finishing a race.
