Sagal has written two other books, The Wait Album: More of the Best and The Incomplete Book of Running, the later of which pays tribute to his passion for long-distance running. Sagal has run a total of 14 marathons including four Boston Marathons, four Chicago Marathons, the New York City Marathon, the Philadelphia Marathon, and the Twin Cities Marathon.
