I read this book, The Long Run, a couple of months ago. It’s the story of runner, Ironman and Firefighter, Matt Long, and his long and amazing recovery after being hit by a bus while on his bike, on the way to a training swim.

This book, Matt’s words really, motivated me to finally go and give blood. Something I’ve been meaning to do for a few years, but had a few concerns I kept forgetting to ask my doctor about. After reading the book though, I made it a priority, talked to my doctor about it, and tonight finally went and did it!

Edited to add: if you want to read a bit about Matt Long, check out this Runner’s World article: http://www.runnersworld.com/article/0,7120,s6-243-297—13053-0,00.html
