"If you've ever set your mind to accomplish something very challenging
and succeeded--battered and bruised but not broken--this book will
resonate." - Stephanie E., verified purchaser
In this inspiring collection, more than 70 trail runners confide--in
essays, poems, quips, photos, selfies, and email--their personal
encounters with the Imogene Pass Run in western Colorado.
As these runners have trained for, endured, and rejoiced in her 17.1
miles and nearly 10,000 feet of elevation change, Imogene has become an
object of profound affection. With exclusive watercolors by
runner/painter Linda Sherman and more than 100 full-color photos and
illustrations, these pages provide entertaining, poignant, and
transformative perspectives into a unique bond shared between runners
and race.
Whether you're passionate about running, eager to explore the majestic
Rocky Mountains, or just a sucker for an authentic love story, To
Imogene, a Flagstaff Love Letter shares themes that will touch your
heart--compassion, community, competition, grit, humor, and above all,
connection.
