Synopsis

Rhythm of the Stride: Answers in Time is the inspiring true story of Greg Gibson, a small-town farm boy from eastern Washington whose gift for running opened doors to national competition, unforgettable friendships, and a deeper understanding of faith, family, discipline, and purpose.
Raised in a hardworking family shaped by agriculture, sacrifice, and a love of sport, Greg discovers early that running is more than speed or endurance. It is a calling, a test of character, and a pathway through struggle, pressure, triumph, disappointment, and growth. From childhood races across the farmyard to high school championships, national indoor meets, recruiting trips, and encounters with legendary athletes and coaches, his journey captures the spirit of an era when dreams were chased with grit, humility, and faith.
With honesty and vivid detail, Gibson reflects on the people who shaped him: a demanding yet devoted father, coaches who saw possibility, teammates and competitors who pushed him higher, and a community that helped carry his ambitions. Along the way, he wrestles with injury, expectation, self-doubt, and the search for meaning beyond the finish line.
Part sports memoir, part coming-of-age story, and part testimony of faith, Rhythm of the Stride invites readers into a world of small-town America, track-and-field history, family legacy, and spiritual perseverance. It is a story for runners, athletes, parents, coaches, believers, and anyone who has ever wondered how a gift becomes a purpose.
For readers who enjoy heartfelt memoirs, inspirational sports stories, and reflections on faith, perseverance, and the lessons learned through competition.
