Running Douglas County (2nd, Softcover Edition)
With stunning photos of extraordinary skies and landscapes in Douglas County, Kansas, this book tells of a man’s love of running and love for the rural areas where he runs. Part one takes you around the southeast part of the county where he has run some 35,000 miles over two decades.
He then takes you on his journey of running all the rest of the country roads in the county. He had been unable to run for four years, and when he was able to run again, he set out to cover every stretch of gravel road on his county map. Lost in those years of physical disability was a connection to the cosmos that had come with running so much under the moon, stars, and planets. Lost too was the easy mindfulness that comes with running smoothly and pain free. And there was something deeper than mindfulness that had touched his soul. He searched the entire county. Would he find it again?
