Until recently, no one had tried to write the story of Gary "Lazarus Lake" Cantrell, the mastermind of ultrarunning classics like the Barkley Marathons. And maybe for good reason. https://bit.ly/4nwtOD9

REVIEWS - So many have reached out with kind words about the book. Much appreciated, really. Means a lot.

If you can find the time to leave a brief review or rating on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Goodreads, or wherever you like - that would make a big difference in the life of the book. 🙏

We hit Murfreesboro last night with special guest Rob Apple. Had a blast. Barnes & Noble did a great job putting together an intimate space. Overall, the night turned a little more philosophical. ✌️
