Just Seconds Behind

By Daniel Austin Jarvis

Just Seconds Behind is a trail-running story wrapped in humor, grit, and the wild mythology of the Kanawha Trace. When Cory - a runner known for being perpetually two seconds behind - returns to the KT, he's not just chasing miles. He's chasing memories, friendships, and the parts of himself he left scattered along the trail.

From bull fields and glowing "coyote eyes" to hornet-nest sprints, lost shoes, and the legendary orange blur, Cory's journey is equal parts chaos and clarity. Alongside Danny, Joey, and the KT community, he discovers that the trail doesn't just test your legs - it tests your patience, your courage, and your ability to laugh at yourself when everything goes sideways.

This is a story about running, yes.

But it's also about becoming.

About pausing like the opossum, planning like the fox, and trying not to drag your mess behind you like the raccoon.

Because sometimes the difference between who you are and who you want to be...

is just seconds behind.
