Mike Brooks began running later in life than most. but has achieved more over the past few decades than most have in their entire lives. In Badwater and Beyond Mike takes us through the highlights of a life lived on trail and road, and gives us a peek at some runners you have probably did not know exist. Badwater 135 miles across Death Valley in July and 491 miles in 10 Days helped Mike raise over $60,000 for childrens' non profits. Plenty of pictures and stories from other runners make for an interesting and fascinating book.
