Publisher's Synopsis
From the author of Running after Prefontaine and Run for Your Life: A Manifesto comes a collection of essential writings on running. Parker is at his best here celebrating the kind of playful running that any runner can enjoy. The Joy of Running qua Running is a light-hearted and light-footed jog through our most human sport.
Many of the pieces collected here are new. Others have appeared previously in Sport Literate, the Oregonian, Run Minnesota, Philosophy Now, and the Bozeman Daily Chronicle, among other publications.
