Yesterday, I started listening to NORTH by Scott Jurek – wow! This is a piece of art! Scott and his wife Jenny are telling the story of him #Running the Appalachian Trail from South to North (which is the opposite of most hikers‘ direction), and the changing perspective gives a lot of fascinating insights into many aspects of such monstrous endurance tasks. As I said/wrote: I started yesterday, but I‘m already at 63 percent of the audiobook. What a great book! #audiobooks #scottjurek
@sebastianhahn to be pedantic, most folks hike North Bound, they start in Georgia in early spring, and try to finish in Maine before the fall.
But, yes his efforts and the book is a fund listen. I really enjoyed it, and it started me listening to a bunch of similar long trek/hiking / running adventure books. All of them make me want to spend a few months finding myself on the trail.
