About this title

Synopsis

In November of 2015, Aaron Burros lay on the ground struggling to stay alive. Having just been shot 5 time while saving three coworkers’ lives, this promising professional trail runner watched the blood ooze from his body. He later learned that one bullet missed his femoral artery by a mere centimeter, while another lodged so deep in his right glute that it would never be removed. Debilitating PTSD quickly set in, multiplied by repeated threats from shooters who were identified but never arrested.

What was he to do?

The answer came in the form of an audacious challenge. Even though he would never run without pain again, he accepted the call to serve others on marathon courses. In January 2021, as the #Running Servant, he began a quest to run 50 marathons in 50 states in 50 weeks to celebrate his 50th birthday while the world reset following the Covid shutdown.

In this riveting book, you will read how Aaron faced the challenges of

• Running with severely weakened right glute muscle,
• Easily triggered, debilitating PTSD,
• Physically and emotionally demanding schedule,
• Canceled airline flights,
• Hotel hassles,
• Reaching remote locations,
• Rescheduling canceled races,
• Several family tragedies, while
• Encouraging and helping everyone God put in his path.

Medal Monday reveals the audacious lengths we can push our minds, bodies, and spirits to do what we never imagined.
