Long, Matt, and Charles Butler. 2010. The Long Run: A New York City Firefighter’s Triumphant Comeback from Crash Victim to Elite Athlete. Rodale Books.
Anyone who exercises knows what it’s like to face a challenge, but not like the one that firefighter Matt Long faced. Everyone who exercises knows what it’s like to improve little by little, but Matt Long persisted in a battle when the steps seemed too small to notice.
The persistence and fortitude displayed by Matt Long will always stay in my mind. He worked hard–extremely hard–when nearly anyone else would have quit.
Beyond delivering a compelling story, this book introduces you to someone you will always respect. After reading this book, Matt seems like an old friend–one you could count on in any circumstances.
