Stroke of Luck [EPUB ebook] 
My Life in Amateur Athletics

Ủng hộ

Stroke of Luck: My Life in Amateur Athletics is a chronicle of passion and rediscovery-the emotional story of a dedicated competitive runner, Steven Kelly, whose participation in the sport spans fifty years. As a teenager, Steve searches for his niche while dealing with challenges that will be familiar to many families. After he discovers running, it soon becomes part of his identity.

Steve’s adventures take him across North America and Europe, and he fulfills a lifelong dream by running in the 2001 Boston Marathon. Along the way, Steve comes to realize that much of his personal success is due to the enduring presence of running in his life.

A series of strokes threaten not only Steve’s athletic pursuits but his life. By eventually returning to the road, he realizes new opportunities for growth. Steve’s story, told with honesty and humility, will resonate with athletes in all sports and with anyone who has faced adversity in their life.

Giới thiệu về tác giả

Steven Kelly is a semi-retired chemical engineer and a dedicated amateur runner, who has competed in road races for almost fifty years. He grew up in a working-class city in Ontario. Telling the story of his recovery from a series of strokes has allowed Steve to pursue another of his lifelong interests, non-fiction writing. He lives in Calgary, Alberta, and while he still enjoys running along the river pathways, it is now at a slower pace and usually includes photography. Steve and his wife Deborah enjoy travelling and reading. They have two grown sons.
