Then you’ll love the “life lessons from the road” in this book!

Dr. Terrie Wurzbacher is a life-long walker. And she loves a challenge. In 2020 she entered the Walk across Tennessee, a 314-mile ultrawalking race to “the Rock.” The challenge – the race must be completed in 10 days. In addition, everything she would need – food, water, toiletries, sleeping mat, insect spray - had to be carried on her back.

The difficulty – at over 70 years old and less than 5 feet tall – was that she had a steady but SLOW pace. She could count on just a few hours of rest per day. She had a disappointing finish. But she came home with a new determination to complete the race.

She changed her routine, her diet and her training schedule. Most importantly she changed her mindset!

She entered the race again in 2021 and she did it! She made it to “the Rock” on time. How? She called upon the life lessons she learned in her experience as a 29 year veteran and Navy physician, as well as an avid runner and student of psychology.

Now YOU can be the beneficiary of those lessons – and the entertaining stories that go with them – all from the comfort of your reading chair. No miles required!

Each chapter, with its insights and inspiration stands on its own. You’ll read and learn as the miles are woven together in an entertaining narrative. You can apply them individually or together in the quest to reach your “Rock”, whatever it may be.
