Steve's Book of the Week is It's Only a Mountain, about Dick and Rick Hoyt, the father-son pair who competed in marathons and triathlons together for decades.
The episode covers the Hoyts' story, from a doctor's recommendation to institutionalize Rick to hundreds of races completed together, and why Steve treasures his own signed copy of the book.
For anyone who needs a reminder that most obstacles are smaller than they feel.
