Running From Pit Bulls

Running From Pit Bulls

A memoir of running across the country on the TransAmerica trail, solo and unsupported. After hiking the Appalachian Trail, I wanted to do something different and much harder. As an avid sports fan, I also learned about the V Foundation for Cancer Research and figured I could raise money for a good cause. How does someone pull off a Forrest Gump-like running adventure? Come find out, as I cross America, experiencing all the good and bad that comes with the daily grind of running marathon after marathon alone. You'll see what the daily grind, pitfalls, and triumphant victories someone faces as I face down endless miles, torrential downpours, blistering heat, a myriad of injuries, and occasionally face down potential death before reaching the Pacific Ocean over five months after leaving the Atlantic Ocean.
