Running to Myself

What do you do when the road ahead is uncertain—and the only way forward is through pain, persistence, and self-discovery?

In Running to Myself: A Journey of Endurance, Acyr da Luz shares a raw, deeply personal memoir of transformation—charting his path from corporate boardrooms to the grueling finish lines of Ironman and Ultraman triathlons. What began as a quest to outrun stress became a spiritual and physical awakening that reshaped his identity as a father, husband, and human being.

Told with honesty, humor, and heart, this story dives into the discipline of training, the pain of setbacks, and the triumph of pushing limits most wouldn’t dare attempt. It’s not just about crossing finish lines—it’s about running toward something greater: meaning, connection, and inner peace.

Whether you're an athlete, a parent, or someone at a crossroads, this is a book that will stir your soul and remind you that the toughest races often bring the most beautiful rewards.
