Daniel Grant is a 17-year-old senior in high school in the year of 1996. He hopes to be elected as the captain of the Cross Country running team because he has some lofty goals set for the team. The journey that Dan and his teammates go through during his senior year is told by Daniel Grant as a 32-year-old, soaked in years of drunkenness, and he hopes that recalling the story of his successful senior year of running in high school can help him overcome drinking and become healthy again, so he can provide for his wife and three children.
Running used to be at the forefront of so much happiness in my life, and I crave for it to be so again.
Running State (Audible Audio Edition) Michael D Graham Mark Westfield Books
This is a very well written book which gets you inside the mind of a runner back in his heyday. The hero, Dan, is a guy in his 30s reminiscing about being the captain of the track team during his senior year of high school. Dan's thoughts reflect a strong and deliberate leader and the stories he recollects are fully engrossing making the read quite enjoyable. During the moments in the book when we get a glimpse of the struggle happening in the mind of a runner, I found myself sweating and heart pounding as he raced along the track. These past struggles and successes were drawn upon to serve as a catalyst and motivation for driving change in Dan's current life. The idea of recalling past momentos and building upon those is a fantastic idea and something I'm able to apply to my own life. I thoroughly enjoyed this story and life lesson and can't wait to see what else the author has in store for us readers =)Product details

Running State (Audible Audio Edition) Michael D Graham Mark Westfield Books Reviews
A warm story of a highschool athlete leading and running with his heart, and his adult self working toward sobriety and a healthy body weight through running. I loved this book!
This was a great read! I purchased it last night finished half of it and couldn't wait to read the rest this morning )
Great book! Inspiring to runners, writers and anyone trying to make a change. I love how Dan improved so much by revisiting his glory days and really re-evaluating what he could do to make his family life even better than it already was. I recommend this 100%!
The book was absolutely entertaining to read! I enjoyed the pace, plot and theme behind the story. It was great to read a book in the genre of running that I could relate to. I felt moving from past and present tense helped me understand the main character more and left me eager to jump into the next chapter. The book costs less than a meal or drink and provides a nice read! The character named "Killer" in the book was a hoot. Everyone should have a friend like that!
But this was a great story. The story weaves between the past and the present connecting completely different circumstances through running. Although Dan, the main character, faces struggles in his adult life which varied greatly from those of his high school cross country days, he finds that the same principles and determination that helped him overcome obstacles in the past helped him in the process of overcoming his fears and shortcomings in the present.
interesting journey of a person who believes in himself and turns his life around. getting positive thoughts from his past to map his future is inspirational. uplifting to be able to beat your demons.
Running State contains many valuable lessons for a struggling thirty year old, Dan, as he remembers the glory days of high school running. The story weaves through two stories high school and at age 30. What I appreciate is how I can relate to life being so much easier when I was younger and forgetting how to never give up as life gets harder and more complicated. The struggle with life (alcohol, running, getting older) and how to overcome can apply to any situation. Even though I don't run (often) but swim, I am reminded of how Dan trains his mind to think positively and keep going as I struggle to get back in shape. Running State is a super easy read and I was drawn in by the first chapter as the character's struggles are revealed and I was hooked and kept reading finishing within three hours.
