From the author of
Running after Prefontaine
and
Run for Your Life: A Manifesto
comes a collection of essential writings on running. Parker is at his best here celebrating the kind of playful running that any runner can enjoy.
The Joy of Running qua Running
is a light-hearted and light-footed jog through our most human sport.
Many of the pieces collected here are new. Others have appeared previously in
Sport Literate,
the
Oregonian
,
Run Minnesota, Philosophy Now,
and the
Bozeman Daily Chronicle
, among other publications.
