A book that sat on my self the past few years so reading it after my military retirement seemed like a good fit. Having lived in Chicago and being just two years older than Peter Sagal (and enjoying his radio program) the book felt like a friend telling a story at a corner bar.

This is one of those books where the audiobook is an entirely different experience than the printed edition. Peter Sagal’s narration is a performance that perfectly highlights the highs and lows of his life and running. His tone perfectly illustrates the pain he feels surrounding his divorce and resulting relationships with his children. I think those moments might feel glossed over in the written version because he switches back and forth to humor quickly. In the audio, his tone and pacing perfectly illustrate the emotions and pain.

This was a wonderful audiobook for runners and people who are dealing with life change. This will be one of those books where I will always suggest the audiobook version.
