Illustrated by Jimmy Cobb
A personal message from the author:
“track is a Lonely sport,” is the product of a discomfort with myself and who I was becoming. Writing it has been a sort of therapy, helping me understand my place with others in the world. At some times, it is brash and cynical; at others, it is lofty and hopeful.
I’ve found reality to be somewhere between these two extremes–I hope that you can, too.
— Noah Jacobs

It is a journey of discovery, a journey of maturity. It is about coming of age and, ultimately, discovering how you treat yourself in how you treat others.
