"Markey gets through his 30-day experiment, huffing and puffing, but emerges a marathon runner...[Re-Run is] quick and easy, and along the way, the scenery is good, and the company is fun. In the long haul, he has created a 210-page metaphor for the attainment of any worthwhile goal, making Re-Run: My 30-Day Experiment to Fall Back in Love With Running a worthwhile read." -Linda Lee Greene, author Guardians and Other Angels; co-author Jesus Gandhi Oma Mae Adams

Tony Markey is a runner. Haha, just kidding. He’s a hack. An absolute running hack. Not in a “life hack” way, but more like in a “hey slow guy, you suck” way. He’s an old fat guy that hopes that he doesn’t have to be fat and slow forever. Still, he's not getting any younger. And he shares his collected wisdom so others can follow in his footsteps. Only not exactly in his footsteps, because that would take forever. Like, figuratively in his footsteps. Or like, in front of his footsteps.
Tony lives near Seattle with his wife and three kids, one of which tolerates him. They take turns.
