Why read it?
1 author picked The Terrible and Wonderful Reasons Why I Run Long Distances (Volume 5) (The Oatmeal) as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Much of my struggle with any form of exercise stems from lack of self-confidence and poor self-image. In his humorous collection of comics, best-selling author “The Oatmeal” lays out what goes in inside most runners’ (and many non-runners’) minds. Food! Weight! Getting lost! Oh my! By poking fun at this somewhat insane sport that I’ve come to love (which many nonrunners call punishment) and his naming of that inner critic as “The Blerch” made me feel seen and heard. It’s truly a classic and one of his best works.
From Nita's list on why people run when not being chased.
