Why read it?

Having set numerous Fastest Known Times myself (including on the Pacific Crest Trail) Emily's story of setting the FKT on the Oregon section of the PCT was at once a return to something familiar, but also an entirely different journey.

She was heavily supported (I was not), and the way her community flowed through her experience was beautiful and touching. Having also lost a parent, as well as someone I love, to cancer, the backstory of losing her mother to cancer, which was interwoven through her run, resonated deeply. I cried more than once reading this book.
