Blood, Sweat and Shame: Confessions of an Ultra Marathon Fat Guy

Follow along as running novice and potato chip connoisseur, Justin Slater, stumbles his way to and through the world of ultra distance running. Laugh, cringe and shake your head as he details the numerous highs and repeated lows that come with pushing your mind, body and sense of humor beyond any previously imagined thresholds. With an active effort to never take itself too seriously, this book explores the worlds of weight loss, compulsive training and the culture of runners. If you're hoping for an affirming and/or healthy look into any of those categories, this book may not be for you. If, however, you enjoy viewing even the most painful of exploits through a chuckle-filtered lens, then these pages were written for you.
