I knew of Scott from Born to Run and have heard of him in various podcasts. He sounds like an absolute machine when it comes to endurance. Adventure books have a place that strikes a mood for me. I am finding as I get older, the adventure for me is in right in front of me. The idea of travel feels more and more like escapism. The idea of challenging myself in a big way like this feels like removal from real life. Maybe I don’t have what it takes. I did enjoy the book and do find it inspiring when I don’t want to get out of the house and put in some miles.
