Running - it’s more than just exercise. It’s a test of physical and mental endurance, a fight against limits, and a way to connect with the environment, global community of runners, and, ultimately, yourself. Through terrains, both paved and rugged, and distances, both long and short, Michael Clinton, the president and marketing and publishing director for Hearst Magazines, has always packed his running shoes with him as he travelled to over 126 countries in all 7 continents. In Tales from the Trails, Clinton and others, including Michael Capiraso, president of NYRR (New York Road Runners), detail stories of trial, tribulation, and triumph, revealing how running has helped someone find love, strengthened their relationship with God, and enabled another to conquer fear and disappointment. Tales from the Trails is a reminder to lace up those old sneakers and hit the trails to run for your life, love, and happiness.
