Behind the wall to the Boston Marathon 2016 - Paperback

by Bill O'Shields (Author)

My book will show you there's always hope with God. It will show you how my life went from being troubled to spending the vast majority of my younger years in and out of penitentiaries until at my lowest point I called on God and was ultimately led to running. I've since made numerous friends and found the running community to not only be a positive group of people but a group I've grown to love like family. I've found strong revelations while on the run and it's not just a form of exercise but a lifestyle. I've had the pleasure of meeting some very big names in the running industry along the way and they're as down to Earth as you or me. Anyone that you may know that's struggling with a troubled life may be lifted or given hope by my transformation. Bill O'Shields, from South Carolina. An avid runner. I've completed 13 marathons with a personal best of 3:11:49 and my highest finishing position being 11th overall and 2nd in the Master's Division in the Run Hard Marathon in Columbia 2014, 3 Ultra 50k trail races with one of those resulting in first overall male. I was featured in the Nov. 2011 Issue of Runner's World Magazine. I love the mountains and am truly blessed to live at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Have a blessed day and happy running everyone!
