5.0 out of 5 stars In the Long Run: Reflections from the Road explains why all the runners run!
Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2016

Jacqueline Simon Gunn’s “In the Long Run: Reflections from the Road...” is all about endurance, training, and measures of fulfillment. When she becomes injured, stumbles, falls, or gets lost, the bottom line is—all the runners run. This book brings notions about spirit, creativeness, will, and limits. It battles becoming lost, endings, beginnings, and entering a zone that numbs the thought of infinity. Creative inspiration includes—but isn’t limited to—alternative uses for a bagel, literally swimming so as not to sink, and holding on to some kinds of pain for honor and remembrance. Since there are things in life that can’t be fixed, one’s got to find a way to deal with what’s broken. That’s why this author brings ideas about tools for managing life—as is. Quotes from C S Lewis, and Erich Fromm (and many others) gives motivational backdrop. What I’m personally left with, after reading “In the Long Run: Reflections from the Road...,” is to lay aside every weight and run with endurance; whatever the race is that's set before me. And I know that Jacqueline Simon Gunn will proceed to run in such a way as to get the prize she needs!

I used to run. I think I'd like to run again. Neither of those things are vital to enjoying this book. It's filled with inspirational anecdotes about life, from overcoming the adversity of physical disability to simply not wanting to get out of bed in the morning and the things that can help motivate you. Jacqueline's breezy honesty makes the stories easy to read. This is a great book to keep around for when you need a little pick-me-up.

4.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyed it!
Reviewed in the United States on February 17, 2015
An inspiring book and a quick read that runners can relate too and see themselves within its chapters. I found myself reflecting back to memories and milestones in my life that occurred while running and most of those memories were not running related! My take away from this book was that running is more of a “mental” activity for me rather than physical. I am able to think more clearly while running and my mind is often calmer at the end of a run. It was interesting to read how this author relates to this and that it can be a common sensation among runners.
