- Running with Sherman – Christopher McDougall
When barefoot running guru Christopher McDougall takes in a neglected donkey, his aim is to get Sherman back to reasonable health. But Sherman is ill-tempered, obstinate and uncooperative—and it’s clear his poor treatment has made him deeply fearful of humans. Chris knows that donkeys need a purpose—they are working, pack animals—and so when he learns of the sport of Burro Racing or running with donkeys, he sets out to give Sherman something worth living for. But what Sherman gains in confidence and meaning is something we all need: a connection with nature, the outdoors, with movement. And as Chris learns, the side benefits of exercise and animal contact are surprising, helping with mental and physical health in unexpected ways.
