In My Shoes: An Unlikely Runner's Guide to Running... and Life

***ENDORSED BY AMBY BURFOOT, AUTHOR AND BOSTON MARATHON CHAMPION: "Reading Wackler is like running a marathon. You don't know what the next mile will bring, but the process is the meaning and the reward. My advice? Get to the starting line of In My Shoes, and start turning the pages."

However, everyone, runners and non-runners alike, will smile, laugh and cry at this unlikely runner and author’s inspirational life lessons, all of which parallel lessons observed while committing the simple act of running. Throughout every chapter, each of which contains a lesson in life and running, Josh shares heart breaking stories of using running to help him through loss, inspirational thoughts regarding the Boston Marathon bombing, humorous stories about battling angry geese while running, and everything in between. Whether you’re a seasoned marathoner or someone who prefers to admire marathoners from home, you will truly enjoy Josh’s unique perspective on all things running…and all things life. Read more
