Running into the Dark : Jason Romero Speaking : 9781941528532 : 1941528538 : 30 Nov 2017 : After a successful career as an attorney and business executive, Jason Romero hit rock bottom when he found himself divorced, unemployed, and in a deep depression after a degenerative eye condition rendered him blind with limited light perception. Feeling a calling to run across America, he took on the challenge of a lifetime to prepare for, and ultimately run, over 3,000 miles from California to New York in less than sixty days to log the seventh fastest foot crossing in the history of the world. This is a story of success and failure, healing and hurting, and loss and love. It is a tale of choosing to live life despite having a difficult challenge.
