Author: Scott Ludwig

Scott Ludwig is the author of Running through My Mind: Confessions of an Every Day Runner; A Passion for Running: Portraits of the Every Day Runner; and A Few Degrees from Hell: The 2003 Badwater Ultramarathon. This book is his first joint project with Vanessa Stroud: he hopes there are more to come. As soon as Vanessa catches her breath, he’ll be ‘running’ his ideas for future projects by her. Scott has run every day since November 30, 1978 and has accumulated 130, 000 lifetime miles. Maybe it’s Scott who needs to be catching his breath. Vanessa Stroud began running in early 2008 after being called off the couch by none other than the great I AM and life has never been the same. What began as a surprising and unexpected answer to prayer became an exercise in faith, a journey of discovery and a lifestyle of gratefulness for each day. Continually intrigued by other’s amazing running adventures, she’s striving to take in all the facets of the full running experience including mentoring runners with Team In Training, directing three annual trail races and co-authoring her first book.
