📚 Book of the Week: Chasing the Grid by Kenneth Posner​
What does it take to climb every Catskill peak in every month of the year?🏔️ In Chasing the Grid, ultrarunner Kenneth Posner chronicles his journey through over 400 rugged ascents — braving snow, storms, and solitude in pursuit of one of the toughest mountain challenges. Blending raw endurance with reflections on ego, humility, and the healing power of nature, Posner invites readers into both the physical grind and the spiritual lessons of the trail. A must-read for runners, hikers, nature lovers, and anyone chasing their own “impossible” goal.
