Publisher's summary
Theoretically Trish Mulligan's smashed spaceship's contains everything she needs to survive; maps, food, water and her solar-powered spacesuit. She manages to broadcast a distress signal to Earth, but to survive until they arrive she'll also need to outrun the sunset. If the sun sets, her suit's automated life support system will stop working and she'll die on the moon. So, she'll have to race the sun. On Earth it would be an interminable marathon pace but at least there she wouldn't be alone.
Though author Geoffrey Landis is only a part time science fiction writer, he works for NASA as his day job; you wouldn't know it by this story. A Walk in the Sun reads like it was written by a Grandmaster!

One of My Most Memorable Sci-Fi Short Stories
It might not be quite the Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber (my favorite short story across all genres), but for me it's the most memorable of all of the short Sci-Fi stories I've read. And I've read many, beginning in the 60's. Highly recommended. Will there be an 11,000 K race on the moon in the future? That'll piss off the people with 26.2, 70.3, and 140.6 bumper stickers:)
