An inspiration for runners and non-runners alike!

My Running Life is more than a book about fitness. It’s a powerful story of resilience, growth, and discovery. What began as a simple way to manage a medical condition turned into a transformative journey—one that reshaped the author’s mind, body, and spirit.

From the first mantra of “Run to Live” to embracing the philosophy of “Live to Run,” this book reveals how running can unlock mental clarity, emotional balance, and personal strength. Along the way, the author picked up lessons that transcend running affecting his personal and professional life.

My Running Life is intended for the 98% of runners at the start line of a race, the everyday runners who have their own goals and inspiration to hit the road.

My Running Life is a companion piece to My Expat Life and My Management Life.

My Running Life will inspire runners and non-runners alike. Lawrence's path to managing his health and diabetes through long-distance running is an example of perseverance, adaptability, and change. The running lessons he shares can be applied to achieving personal bests in all aspects of personal and professional life.

Lawrence's down-to-earth narration makes the stories in My Running Life accessible and entertaining. If you want to start a running regimen or are a novice runner, Lawrence's journey will motivate you to hit the road. Non-runners will appreciate the themes of mental, physical, and emotional fortitude as a means of personal growth and being the best version of yourself. I have experienced many of the same thoughts and events during my own racing and training. I also feel privileged, having had the pleasure of working with Lawrence during our China days for a few years and also starting the New York Marathon together once (although he finished way before me). I truly enjoyed reading the book and learning more about his running adventures.
