This is a a lovely quick read for me as a casual runner stuck in an airport- the author is self deprecating but just the right amount, and tells a very honest story about running his marathon. It's inspiring in the sense that this is an ordinary man who pushed himself to his own limits and beyond, with a sense of humour that lit my life up for a few hours. The story, the doodles and the little internal tips and lists were a good inspiration to get back to the grind and pick up some new races!
