My Year Of Running Dangerously

"In Foreman's witty and endear-ing chronicle, My Year of Run-ning Dangerously, we follow his transformation from self-described couch potato to marathoner, then ultra-marathoner. You don't have to be a runner to understand--and feel--the blood, sweat and tears Foreman pours into his training and his first marathon with his daughter."--Bookpage

"Tom Foreman has one of the most unique, interesting and honest minds that I've ever encountered in journalism. His book captures so much of what makes him such a pleasure to call colleague and friend. Despite the truly ridiculous amount of running he describes, this book is really about so much more: family, relationships, career, change, and ultimately about making it all fit. It may or may not awaken the hidden runner in you, but it will bring you along for his hilarious and moving journey."--Jake Tapper, CNN

"Tom Foreman has an ability to capture honest humor while talking about something as horrible and painful as exercise. I loved everything about this book except the running."--Jim Gaffigan

"Foreman demonstrates how he balances his passion for running with all else that is important in life. I've interacted with thousands of runners throughout my career and I can say that Tom is one of the most passionate runners I've met."--Meb Keflezighi, Olympic Silver medalist, Boston and NYC Marathon champion

"As a--don't laugh--basketball player, I understand full well Tom Foreman's mad desire to exert above his age. But his recital of the perils of long-distance running made me decide that turning the pages of this graceful and amusing saga was enough exercise for a summer day. Run--but only to your bookstore."--Harry Shearer

"Even the author's long-suffering family had to admit at the end of the season that he was happier, and readers will enjoy running alongside him."--Kirkus
