The Moments That Make Us

The world we live in is fast paced, cutthroat, and incredibly confusing. We are often forced to make choices we truly aren’t sure about, or weren’t ready to make. We spend our time saying “What if?” or “I shouldn’t have.” We often look out instead of in as we try to find the root of what makes us tick, placing blame on everyone and everything other than ourselves along the way. Pete Evick, professional musician, award-winning producer, songwriter, and father, shares his personal stories about the unique moments in his life, in hopes that they will convince you, the readers, to dig a little deeper into your own moments and evoke the mental archaeologist lying dormant in all of us.

The Quotable Runner: Great Moments of Wisdom, Inspiration, Wrongheadedness, and Humor

“Keep this book close to you at all times. It can’t help but improve your spirits and your running.”—Runner’s World

By its very nature, running is extreme and pure, resulting in a great supply of extremely memorable quotes, jokes, barbs, and philosophical gems. The Quotable Runner gathers the best of these into one indispensable volume. Sir Roger Bannister compares running to classical drama. George Patton compares it to war. Bill Clinton finds it keeps him optimistic. And Oprah sums it up beautifully: “Running is the greatest metaphor for life, because you get out of it what you put into it.”

The Quotable Runner is like no other running book. Runners will read it again and again for inspiration, advice, and humor.
