Broken to Marathon: Printed in Thailand and signed by the author with free global shipping

Before the accident, I was just a carefree backpacker weaving my way across Asia until my luck ran out when I got knocked down crossing the street in Bangkok. This memoir chronicles three years of my life in Thailand, from a broken leg to marathon running, accepting that change is inevitable, yet growth is optional. Along the way, I endured a grueling rehab from a walker to crutches to a cane while perfecting my freestyle lap swimming. I reclaimed my teaching position and moved beyond the cane while battling a corrupt insurance company to cover a second surgery to remove the titanium plates—or choose to never run again! After a second rehab and a few dozen Thai beauties, I progressed to jogging and then got seduced into a 21km half-marathon. The first attempt was cringeworthy, but if I dedicated myself to learning the biomechanics of efficient running, I could rise above my perceived limitations to run the distance. After an Indonesian jogging holiday to go snorkeling under the sea, I completed my transition from victim to warrior to be the hero who slays the dragon!

*This 214-page paperback has been printed in Thailand, yet the print quality far outshines Amazon’s print-on-demand standard. Each book sold will be personally autographed, lovingly packaged, and sent out through the Thai post system. International airmail is exorbitant, and the price listed barely covers the freight, yet I am willing to eat the printing cost. If you want to help me break even on this publishing scheme, please choose a quantity of three – thanks.
