About the book (words from the author)

What I present to you here is not a biography, not a usual curriculum vitae. Because this booklet actually deals only with the time from my fortieth year, that is, a rather small section of my life. And it is not a "running book" either. Because if I only ran and wrote about it, then this book would be one of the usual running books. I decided to give my running another, a non-athletic meaning as well. Through my running, values, behaviors, opportunities, and communication about it changed, and so did all other areas of my life.
