Download The Long Run: One Man's Attempt to Regain his Athletic Career-and His Life - by Running the New York City Marathon AudioBook Free
On the morning of December 22, 2005, NEW YORK firefighter Matt Long was bicycling to work when he was struck by and sucked under a 20-ton bus making an illegitimate turn. The traumas he sustained pushed him within in . of death. Miraculously, after five a few months in a healthcare facility plus more than 40 operations, Matt managed to get started on his recovery. Furthermore to his physical traumas, Matt found the internal implications of the accident practically as hard to process. Inside the 18 months prior to the accident, he previously competed in more than 20 premier athletic events and had qualified for running's most prestigious race, the Boston Marathon. After the accident, one doctor told him he'd be lucky if he could even walk without a cane. The Long Run is the mental and incredibly honest account of Matt's perseverance to combat through fear, despair, loneliness, and intense physical and internal pain to regain the life span he once got. It chronicles Matt's highway to recovery as he demonstrates to himself to walk again and, a mere three years later, to perform in the 2008 NEW YORK Marathon.
