Run: Races and Trails Around the World by Rachel Laidler and Elspeth Beidas

by 2 Comments

I loved the previous review left for this book, specifically the anecdotes the reviewer shared about a race that allowed her to run in a limited-number small group along a scenic waterway. Over the past eight years, in fits and starts, I’ve become an avid runner. I am slow and I purposely try to lose my mind in the act of running and by just moving my body in a way that feels good. This is tough for me because I am extremely competitive. But […]

What You Need in a Mountain Hike Guide

Day Hiking in the North Georgia Mountains by Jim Parham

by Leave a Comment

Minor irony: I ended up getting two local trail/hiking guides at the bookstore, and it turns out the impulse grab (on sale) one was the more useful. Go figure. So, now for Day Hiking the North Georgia Mountains. This book is as the title suggests a description and guide for the various hiking trails in the norther third or so in the state of Georgia. I need this for seeing how much trouble I’m getting myself into for a trail race in soCA in about […]

Run: Races and Trails Around the World by Rachel Laidler and Elspeth Beidas

by Leave a Comment

Best for: People who like to travel to their run, or who are looking for some inspiration. In a nutshell: One hundred runs and trails of varying lengths, spread across every continent (yes, even that one). Worth quoting: N/A Why I chose it: It was a birthday gift. Review: I’ve been running for about 15 years now. In those years I’ve run 15 half marathons, and some of the best have been ones I’ve traveled for. There was one in the Black Country near Birmingham, […]

Don’t Let Your Midlife Crisis Ruin Your Children’s Lives

Wavewalker by Suzanne Heywood

by Leave a Comment

When Suzanne’s parents tell her that their family is going to live on a boat and sail around the world, they sell it to her and everyone as the adventure of a lifetime. But the reality of it is much more grim, with constant instability and little care for the children’s education or futures. Talk about making your midlife crisis your children’s problem! Having seen an uptick of chatter online about parents gaming the homeschooling system to let their kids run wild, it was interesting […]

The Past is a Different Country

Wanderlust: An Eccentric Explorer, an Epic Journey, a Lost Age by Reid Mitenbuler

by 2 Comments

Peter Freuchen first rose to prominence as an Arctic explorer in the early twentieth century, but during his long adventurous life he wore many other hats, becoming a best-selling author, working in Hollywood, and being imprisoned in a Nazi prison camp for being a member of the resistance. I like exploration stories. They introduce you to an old world that no longer exists, they have the kinds of details that boggle the mind, and are usually populated with exactly the eccentric kinds of people you’d […]

Death and Life and Wheelies

Jupiter's Travels by Ted Simon

by Leave a Comment

During the 2020 COVID quarantine period, my wife and I tried to mentally escape our confinement by watching travel shows. Our favorites were (1) Travel Man, hosted by Richard Ayoade and (2) Long Way motorcycle journey series, hosted by Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman (yes, Ewan McGregor). Travel Man focuses on many of travel’s fun social/cultural aspects. In contrast, the Long Way motorcycle series focuses more on the wandering/open/adventure aspects. In one of the Long Way episodes, hosts Ewan and Charley are very excited to […]
