The final chapter of "Born to Run"
Once in a great while, a book totally knocks off my socks and this book, "Born to Run", is one of those. It is the non-fictional story of how a remote tribe of native Mexican Indians, who are fantastic runners, competed against the best ultra-marathoners in the world in one exciting race, and what these vastly different groups had in common and learned from each other. Somewhat surprisingly, enjoying whatever you are doing (in this case, running) and being loving to others turned out to be two critical factors in running well. Sometimes overlooked in this age of science, these qualities of heart can not be underestimated. As someone who ran competitively for over 20 years, I don't want this book to end.
