The KT doesn't care who you were last time. It only cares who shows up today. Out here, the rules are simple: follow the blaze, trust the trail, and don't step on the turtle. The yellow-white-yellow or white-yellow-white marks on the trees aren't decoration-they're a promise. A direction. A reminder that someone came through before you, and someone will come after. The jars of fireflies aren't magic, not really. They're just light borrowed from the woods, set down by runners who needed a little help seeing their own way forward. The waterfall doesn't cheer. The hills don't care. The trail doesn't bend for you. And yet-somehow-it meets you exactly where you are.
Just Seconds: The Dual Run Edition brings together two intertwined journeys across the same rugged miles of the Kanawha Trace. One run is real: sweat, nerves, laughter, roots, rocks, and the quiet truths that rise when you're deep in the woods with nothing but your breath and your thoughts. The other run is mythic: guardians in the trees, stories carried in the dirt, echoes of every runner who has ever stepped onto this trail. These two voices-human and mythic-trade places, overlap, and weave together until you can't tell where one ends and the other begins.
This is a book about running the same course twice and discovering it's never the same. It's about the moments you missed, the ones you carried, and the ones that changed you without asking permission. It's about the KT itself-how it watches, remembers, and quietly shapes the people who move across it. Whether you're a first-time runner, a returning veteran, or someone who simply loves the strange magic of the woods, this story invites you into a world where every mile holds a memory, every blaze holds a message, and every step brings you closer to the person you're becoming.
This is the KT. It remembers more than you think.
