Ryan Hall will be joining TORTOISE AND HARE SPORTS on May 23 at 6PM to
share his book Run the Mile You're In and sign your book! The book
is included in the cost of the event. Ryan Hall is an Olympic
athlete and American record holder in the half marathon (59:43). But
as a kid, Ryan hated running. He wanted nothing to do with the sport
until one day, he felt compelled to run the 15 miles around his
neighborhood lake. He was hooked.
Starting that day, Ryan felt a God-given purpose in running. He knew
he could, and would, race with the best runners in the world and that
his talent was a gift to serve others. These two truths launched
Ryan's 20-year athletic career and guided him through epic failures
and exceptional breakthroughs to competing at the highest level.
Along the way, Ryan learned how to focus on his purpose and say no to
distractions, to select and strive for the right goals--goals for the
heart as well as the body. With God's guidance and millions of miles
pounded out on the track, Ryan discovered secrets to dealing with
defeat and disappointment, enduring immense pain, building resilience,
and ultimately, running as if you've already won.
Now a coach, speaker, and nonprofit partner, Ryan shares the powerful
faith behind his athletic achievements and the lessons he learned that
helped him push past limits, make space for relationships that enrich
life on and off the running trails, and cultivate a positive mindset.
Journey with Ryan as he reflects on the joys and trials of the running
life and discover for yourself the power of a life devoted to your
God-given purpose
