Alan Carlton lives in Hobart, Tasmania with his family: his wife, four children and four grandchildren.
He often goes for a run around the block.
In 2015 he suffered a stroke.
A run around the block aided his recovery, especially when he went with members of his family. He loves the social benefits of long-distance running.
In 2019 he ran the Edmonton Marathon. This book is about preparing for, running in and recovering from the Edmonton Marathon. He ran the race with two nephews who live in Edmonton. They helped him finish and he thinks he helped them finish.
Alan loves the way focusing on something positive aided his recovery. Something like a run around the block.
