AUBURN Best-selling author Christopher McDougall is to join Auburn Public Library from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 10 via Zoom to share favorite parts of his book “Running with Sherman.”
When McDougall agreed to take in a donkey, Sherman, from an animal hoarder, he thought it would be no harder than the rest of the adjustments he and his family had made after moving from Philadelphia to the heart of Pennsylvania Amish country, according to a news release. But when Sherman arrived, he was so sick he could barely move.

The next day I go out again. I decide to go along a dirt road that curves around a nearby lake. I stop and pull my phone out to take a photo of the sunset over the lake, and I subconsciously think to myself that I need to post the picture when I put my run up on Strava. I begin to wonder what I could say about this run once I post it on social media, and only while I’m mid-thought do I stop and think:
Is that really why you’re running?
That was me a couple weeks ago, attached to my running technology.
