While I am not a runner, I found Toby Estler’s book to be a wonderful addition to my desire to read good, inspirational books.  This is a runner’s guide for preparing for running, mentally, physically, and spiritually.  It is also a guide for everyday living and working.  Mr. Estler has an extensive and diverse set of experiences he brings to the reader; he has lived what he talks about.  He has learned how to start and how to persevere, something many people today could learn.  His writing is clearly from the heart and is easy to read and be inspired by.

Mr. Estler’s journey serves as a roadmap that is not only easy to follow, but easy to begin, which is where we need to be.  In terms of physical fitness, running has clearly proven its value.  By having the mental and spiritual pieces in place, this can only be a win-win.  I really recommend “Running Home” and emphasize that while the focus is on running, the theme applies to everything we do in life.
