Description
The Mock Olympian by Michael Long is a heartwarming and humorous account of one man's incredible journey. After the 2012 Olympics ended, Michael found himself feeling down and wanting to keep the spirit of the games alive. He had an idea - why not attempt to run in every host city of the Summer Olympics over the next four years? With determination and a sense of adventure, he set out to find and complete marathons, half marathons, 10K runs, and triathlons in twenty-three Olympic cities. As Michael trained and competed, he encountered plenty of challenges, setbacks, and triumphs. Along the way, he formed lasting friendships and experienced incredible adventures. This book is a worthwhile read for anyone who loves running, travel, or just needs a boost of motivation to overcome their own obstacles. Michael's story is a testament to the power of perseverance and the joy that can be found in pursuing one's passions.
