I read the whole interview & found it very moving. I am partly moved that you spent ten or fifteen years with the book. I found myself, funny enough, thinking about slowness as part of the way around—funny, of course, since that seems to be the opposite of what running is about. And yet it seems you allowed yourself to take the slow path to this book. I wonder if you would agree & if that resonates.
I'm glad to hear it made your month, Nick. ☺️ I trust slowness and feel validated by hearing this. In the nonfiction book industry right now, it seems that so many people are cranking books in a couple years. I like to think there are other ways and paths around.

This note made my month. Thank you for this. Totally and completely agree. Felt more like a decade long courtship at times.
