Cartoonist Matthew Iman has a collection of comics, stories and various oddities on his website, The Oatmeal. In this book Inman talks about his love and hate relationship with running, personal journey of losing weight, and the other interesting topics that somewhat seems useless (but it relevant) all in a illustrated novel. With the University City Memorial Day run coming up soon (which you can sign up here), I decided to take a gander to read this book.
Most people (including myself) have one thing about running or just personal fitness they hate: the initial start which is a self-induced form of procrastination. Iman hit most topics on why he started to run, his flaws, how to mentally prepare yourself how to prepare to run, and get prepped for marathons. He also talks about how people think of the gym (which more or less is true), and Japanese Giants Hornets....gawd like there are enough things I'm already scared of like most insects especially spiders, snakes, and the state of Florida as it it.
But not a bad book if you interested in running and need something to laugh at to pass the time.
