Description: A passionate and beautifully written narrative about running and the world of discovery and adventure it brings. Boff Whalley just likes running - the places it takes him, the moments of exhilaration, and snapshots of natural beauty that he adds to his mental album. This is not a man who signs up to big city marathons and pounds the pavements. With his down to earth voice and a great sense of humor, Boff writes about how running brings a real world of discovery and adventure, from reaching the top of a mountain with the sun at your back and moon in front creating two shadows to running up Mt. Fuji on a break from work. For Boff, running is about freedom, experiencing the world, finding your place in it, and generally just enjoying yourself. Running is a way to get back to that simplest of relationships - the one between our feet and the earth.
