When journalist Robert Andrew Powell finished his first marathon, he
cried, cradled in his father's arms. Long-distance runners understand
where those tears come from, even if there are others who will never
grasp what drives someone to run 26.2 consecutive miles in a grueling
mental and physical test. Powell's emotional reaction to completing the
race wasn't just about the run, though. It was also about the joy and
relief of coming back up after hitting rock bottom.
"Running Away"
is the story of how one decision can alter the course of a life. Knocked
down by a divorce and inspired by his father, Powell decided to change
his mindset and circumstances. He moved to Boulder and began running in
earnest for the first time in his life. Over the 26.2 chapters that
follow, Powell grapples with his past, gaining insight and hard-won
discipline that give him hope for the future.
