The Crackerjack Chronicles: Stadium Sprint

A laugh-out-loud comedy about fitness, midlife stubbornness, and the horrors of being voluntold to exercise. Crackerjack was perfectly content with his current fitness routine: walking to the fridge and back. But when Mi Amor signs them both up for a charity run at the local stadium - without consulting him, naturally - he's forced to confront his greatest fear: physical exertion. What begins as a reluctant jog through the Mexican heat becomes an absurd odyssey of pulled muscles, questionable motivation, and the dawning realization that his body has not forgiven him for decades of neglect. Vivi treats the event like a fashion show. Melinda approaches it with the intensity of an Olympic coach. And Crackerjack? He's just trying to survive. The Stadium Sprint is the fourth book in The Crackerjack Chronicles - a humor fiction series about a Canadian expat in Mexico who keeps getting dragged out of his comfort zone by the people he loves most. Perfect for anyone who's ever been forced into a fun run, regretted skipping leg day, or discovered that "it'll be fun" is the most dangerous phrase in any marriage
