In the tradition of Wild and H Is for Hawk, an Outside magazine writer tells her story—of fathers and daughters, grief and renewal, adventure and obsession, and the power of running to change your life.

NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY REAL SIMPLE

I’m running to forget, and to remember.

For more than a decade, Katie Arnold chased adventure around the world, reporting on extreme athletes who performed outlandish feats—walking high lines a thousand feet off the ground without a harness, or running one hundred miles through the night. She wrote her stories by living them, until eventually life on the thin edge of risk began to seem normal. After she married, Katie and her husband vowed to raise their daughters to be adventurous, too, in the mountains and canyons of New Mexico. But when her father died of cancer, she was forced to confront her own mortality.

His death was cataclysmic, unleashing a perfect storm of grief and anxiety. She and her father, an enigmatic photographer for National Geographic, had always been kindred spirits. He introduced her to the outdoors and took her camping and on bicycle trips and down rivers, and taught her to find solace and courage in the natural world. And it was he who encouraged her to run her first race when she was seven years old.

Now nearly paralyzed by fear and terrified she was dying, too, she turned to the thing that had always made her feel most alive: running. Over the course of three tumultuous years, she ran alone through the wilderness, logging longer and longer distances, first a 50-kilometer ultramarathon, then 50 miles, then 100 kilometers. She ran to heal her grief, to outpace her worry that she wouldn’t live to raise her own daughters. She ran to find strength in her weakness. She ran to remember and to forget. She ran to live.

Ultrarunning tests the limits of human endurance over seemingly inhuman distances, and as she clocked miles across mesas and mountains, Katie learned to tolerate pain and discomfort, and face her fears of uncertainty, vulnerability, and even death itself. As she ran, she found herself peeling back the layers of her relationship with her father, discovering that much of what she thought she knew about him, and her own past, was wrong.

Running Home is a memoir about the stories we tell ourselves to make sense of our world—the stories that hold us back, and the ones that set us free. Mesmerizing, transcendent, and deeply exhilarating, it is a book for anyone who has been knocked over by life, or feels the pull of something bigger and wilder within themselves.

“A beautiful work of searching remembrance and searing honesty . . . Katie Arnold is as gifted on the page as she is on the trail. Running Home will soon join such classics as Born to Run and Ultramarathon Man as quintessential reading of the genre.”—Hampton Sides, author of On Desperate Ground and Ghost Soldiers

Subtle but works!!
Okay there are PRICEY for the small amount you receive. I believe they work for sure and will buy them again but which they would put a FEW MORE in a pack because they are not like miracle patched and you definitely need two packs to see a significant difference.

Did nothing for hyperpigmentation, worked well on active blemish
I use these for an active blemish and they work well for reducing inflammation and redness. They are marketed for hyperpigmentation, but they didn’t seem to have much of an effect on lingering redness from an old breakout after a few uses so I decided to use them on a whitehead that popped up on my chin. I bought two packages and had passed the return window so I figured couldn’t hurt. After a few hours with this patch on, the whitehead and surrounding redness virtually disappeared. They are almost invisible on the skin IF you can remove them from their clamshell packaging without scrunching up and wrinkling the edge of patch. BIG IF!!! Most of the time I mess up the edge of the patch making the wrinkled edge visible on my face. I wear them around the house so I don’t really care about that, but it’s worth mentioning. You have to remove them from the packaging VERY carefully to keep the patch smooth. I’ve been mostly unsuccessful at removing them without scrunching up an edge. Oh well. Peach Slices makes a similar product for acne, “deep blemish microdarts”. I haven’t tried those, nor do I plan to because the amount of product that you get for either kind of micro dart is not a good value to me. I wish these were less expensive. I do like the way the micro dart feels when you apply it- kind of a satisfying stinging sensation- like the ingredients are really penetrating. I would not call it painful. A moment of sting and it’s on there doing it’s job. It stays on well while doing basic daily activities (like doing the dishes, working at a desk). Can’t say how it would hold up to something more vigorous like a jog or bike ride or anything that would make you break a sweat. I like the product and the result on blemishes, but I can’t justify the cost. A warm compress and followed by a vitamin C serum on a blemish works just as well and it’s way more cost effective, albeit less convenient. Also, the ingredients in the product description are incomplete. See photo- they contain Butylene Glycol which is sometimes irritating to my skin. Luckily, these patches didn’t irritate me. Having to 3rd party check the ingredients for cosmetics from Amazon irritates me though 😒 If these are affordable for you for the occasional blemish, I would recommend. Did nothing for hyperpigmentation and way too expensive for me to combat a full breakout or even a daily random pimple. I’ll use the ones I have but would not purchase again.

Didn’t Work for Me
This purchase was a complete waste of time and money for me. The dots did absolutely nothing to reduce the color of a sun spot on my cheek. I used them according to the instructions for consecutive days. The dots are gone, but the spot on my skin remains as dark as before. Maybe they work better for pimple discoloration.

Very Effective!
I have enjoyed all of the Peach Slices products I’ve purchased so far. These are by far my favorite. I noticed a difference after leaving one of these on overnight on a red spot where a pimple had been. It was probably 50% lighter the next day. They are very pliable and hardly noticeable on your skin. I just wish more than 9 came in a package.
