What a wonderful story through the running journal’s of Bill Graham. Here is a man of modesty who takes us through his childhood in Liverpool, Chester a family move to South Africa before finally settling in Bristol. His enthusiasm for the outdoors whether running the London Marathon or scaling the lofty heights of Scaffel Pike in the Lake District is laid bare. This is not just running but a way of life that helped shape Bill, giving him a sense of purpose, and self belief, and along the way many great memories……..”What you have to instill in your mentality is that every step you take, in the right direction, is a step closer to the finish so just keep putting one foot in front of the other and you will reach the finish line”....I am reminded of a quote by Joel Henning in his book “Holistic Running” that best sums up the spirit of those who dare to do the impossible….”It is indeed a from of worship, an attempt to find God, a means to the transcendent...I have power, power that propels me cross country, puts me intimately in touch with nature, strengthens, me…..I own the day”.....
Highly Recommended
