"I sank to my knees in despair. Incredibly, despite being in a tropical jungle I was cold, really cold. I was shivering from head to foot. The adrenaline that had brought me this far had finally run out and I collapsed to the ground. And that's when I was attacked.”

Running and flying the world for over 40 years was finally coming to an end. During that time, I had become the World's most experienced Boeing 747 Captain. I had combined my flying with running the equivalent of a marathon every week for four decades. My flying career was at an end. Running had been a passion that had taken me into places and situations that were both exciting and dangerous. I could no longer fly the 747 but at least I was still young enough to run as fast as I ever could.

And then I was overtaken by a butterfly.

I really enjoyed listening to this book. I am a runner myself and I listened to this book while venturing out on my long trail runs. This book kept me great company, made me giggle and think about possible adventures. I am really envious but at the same time glad I keep my runs to the UK ground, occasionally European holidays. 😃

Fantastic description of the running adventures.
