PRAISE FOR THE 27th MILE
"The 27th Mile is far more truthful and helpful than that old runnersâ canard, âThere is no finish line.â In fact, we all stop running at some pointâwhether from burnout, injury, or aging. McDowell understands that we must grieve first, but then get going again. Sadness gives way to revival and new life-sustaining practices. Yes, you can."

PRAISE FOR THE 27th MILE
"The 27th Mile captures the deeply personal moment when the thing that once defined you is suddenly out of reach. Dimity writes with honesty, humor, and so much heart. This book is a companion for anyone navigating the loss of a long-held identityâand a hopeful guide to discovering who you are beyond what you do. It is tender, wise, and profoundly relatable."

PRAISE FOR THE 27th MILE
"Dimity McDowell put words to the grief that runners feel when theyâre forced to give up an activity thatâs so much more than mere exercise, itâs also a source of community, identity, and release. The 27th Mile offers comfort, commiseration and useful coping advice to waylaid runners. Whether their break from running is temporary or permanent, runners involuntarily separated from their beloved sport will find support and a sense of hope in McDowellâs book."
