    《Running through My Mind: Confessions of an Every Day Runner》简介:

    Avid runner Scott Ludwig has seen, heard, and experienced firsthand most everything the sport has to offer. Of course, that is to be expected of someone who has run every day for over twenty-eight years. In Running through My Mind, Scott and his friends weigh in, sharing brutally honest, occasionally raw and always entertaining anecdotes to guide you through the physical and mental aspects of running:A teammate on the Atlanta Track Club Men's Masters Team, discussing a 195-mile relay: How many runners does it take to run Hood-to-Coast? Twelve members of the men's masters' team or one Scott Ludwig. Scott after dropping out of the Western States Endurance Run: That sure sucked. Scott's views on treadmills: It's not running if you don't go anywhere. A pal and crewmember for Scott at the Badwater Ultramarathon: When Scott was accepted into Badwater, the real question in my mind was not whether or not he would finish, but whether or not he would then let the (consecutive days of running) streak die a peaceful death. Scott after finishing the Western States Endurance Run: That still sucked. Discover the motivational narrative behind these and many other observations in Scott's story-so far. Whether you just bought your first pair of running shoes or are a grizzled running veteran, Running through My Mind provides the encouragement you need to get out and get moving!

    《Running through My Mind: Confessions of an Every Day Runner》作者简介:

    Scott has run every single day since November 20, 1978 and he currently has the 35th longest streak in the U.S. He has run 200 marathons, over 800 races, and accumulated over 130,000 miles in his lifetime.
    He began running ultra-marathons early in his running career, his first belong a 50-miler in 1982. In time he would run ultras ranging from 31 miles to 135 miles. In 2002, Scott ran 129 miles in the U.S. National 24-Hour Championships and won the masters national championship. In 1992 he ran 280 miles in six days, from the west side to the east side of the state of Georgia, to raise money for charity.

    《Running through My Mind: Confessions of an Every Day Runner》读者评论:

    Many years ago, Scott set three distinct running goals for himself: run 100 marathons; run 1000 races; and run 100,000 miles. As of the fall of 2007, Scott had completed 136 marathons, 686 races, and 110,000+ miles. "Two outta three ain't bad." Especially considering it's only a matter of time until he completes 1000 races.

    But there's more to it than just the statistics above. Scott has also completed the Western States 100 Miler (after two attempts), and even more impressive, he completed the granddaddy ultramarathon of them all, the 135 mile Badwater Ultramarathon from Death Valley to Mount Whitney (held annually in July, no less!). He has extended his running streak to over 29 years running consecutively every day for over 10,000 days. In 2001 he founded the Darkside Running Club dedicated to ultramarathon runners and began publishing their newsletter, "Tales from the Darkside," the following year. In 2002 the club hosted its first annual Peachtree City 50K, an ongoing certified ultramarathon.

    Oh, yeah, in between all that running, he also found time to write and publish a book. All this and much, much more is covered in his tome entitled, Running Through My Mind: Confessions of an Every Day Runner. From the mundane to the outrageous, Scott covers in detail how he got started in running after some false starts at other sports through his current status as one of the best known ultramarathoners in the U.S. Injected with a lethal dose of humor owing to his wry outlook on life, Scott does his literary hero and role model, Lewis Grizzard, proud. Scott includes his whole family in on the act so to speak, including his dog Magic, as each one gets to comment on the influence Scott's running has had on their lives and vice versa.

    Fellow runners, Darkside club members, other ultramarathoners, and many others all contribute to make Scott's book a truly diverse journey through the trials and tribulations, achievements and disappointments, and flat out hilarious events encountered during his 30 year running career. So what does Scott have in mind for the next 30 years of running?? You'll just have to buy the book to find out.

    Ludwig's book is an excellent read into the insight of someone who uses running as a defining part of his life; but not quite a full obsession. As a dedicated runner, with 40,000 miles on his legs, sometimes, I like to read stories of other runners who enjoy running not only as exercise but as an activity that clears the mind and provides a sense of enjoyment an freedom. Ludwig does that. He's far more into running than I am, yet provides a good read and a solid motivation. My only negative is that Ludwig isn't all that positive on trail running, preferring the road. I prefer getting out on the trails and into nature.

    The biggest strengths are his streak of 30 years of running every day combined with essentially running 10+ miles every day. He manages to throw in a number of amusing anecdotes, keeping it fresh.
