For Nicholas Thompson, author of the new book The Running Ground: A Father, a Son, and the Simplest of Sports, running has always been about something more than putting one foot in front of another. He ran his first mile at age five, using it to connect with his father as his family fell apart. As a young man, it was a sport that transformed, and then shook, his sense of self-worth. In his 30s, it was a way of coping with a profound medical scare.
