Running is a Gift
HABITS FOR A 1% BETTER LIFE
A book about movement, mindset, and the quiet work of showing up.
This book began as a way of making sense of illness, uncertainty, and the slow work of becoming steady again.
Living with Ataxia changed how I experience my body and the world. Running became less about performance and more about presence. Writing became a way to hold that experience.
This is not a productivity book.
It is a collection of reflections, images, and small practices designed to be returned to slowly.

From the beginning this book was imagined as a physical object.
Something you could pick up, open anywhere, feel the paper, leave marks, and return to. The layouts, photography, and pacing were designed for a page, not a screen.
The digital edition exists so the ideas can travel freely.
The printed editions exist so the work can be held.
The book is available as a free digital edition and as two printed editions, hardcover and paperback, printed and shipped on demand.
This book was designed to be used, not just read
