This book really doesnÕt know what it is. IÕm not famous so itÕs not really an autobiography; I have no inspirational story to tell so itÕs not really in that genre; I donÕt have any special knowledge of exercise or nutrition so itÕs not really a fitness guide. Maybe if it wasnÕt for copyright it would be called Zen and the Art of Running. What it is, and why I wrote it, is a retelling of decades of struggling with exercise leaving a mix of tips, memories, experiences and half-baked advice.
