Slow and Cerebral

by Zachary Fenell

Slow and Cerebral tells a true-life triumphant tale about overcoming self-doubts and perceived limitations to achieve the “unreasonable.” For author Zachary Fenell, that meant not letting the neurological disability cerebral palsy (CP) stop him from becoming a marathoner. Follow along with Fenell as he recounts the ups and downs which paved his path to the finish line. Experience the overwhelming exhaustion felt after only completing a fraction of the goal distance. Persevere through the gravity sparring stumbles and tumbles. Feed off the power of friendship and challenge what is possible. Push forward emboldened by courageous determination. Plus, so much more.

Zach is a CCPL colleague and a CP warrior. His writing style is very conversational, and I felt like he was right there with me, sharing his successes and setbacks as he conquered various races. I look forward to learning more about him at our upcoming CCPL staff book discussion.
