I don't run as much as I used to, but this book reminded me of all the things I love about it. With stories of encouragement and struggle and joy and pain...this has it all! (

I enjoyed reading Yasso's running tales, but was just charmed by the "bucket list" of marathons and other races listed in the back of this book. He describes races like Rome, Big Sur, Athens, and Royal Victoria (among others) in a way that makes me want to put them all on my calendar for the coming year! (

Bart has gotten to experience so much as a runner. Like many of us, he didn't start out a runner, he became one, which means there's hope for anyone who wants to be a runner. I loved his stories of running overseas, especially the Arctic and Antarctica marathons. His list of must-do races is a pretty decent bucket list for someone who wants to run all over the world. And he even has some training advice for people wanting to start running or start running faster. (

A fun read for runners. Bart had done it all from running on all comtinents to winning a marathon. He's a true inspiration. (

He's a crazy ultra-marathon runner who's written about some of his adventures. His dialogue stinks, and his writing style isn't the most eloquent, but it's a neat read. The man's done some out-there things (including running an ultra in Death Valley). Any runner would probably enjoy this one. If anything, it makes marathoners seem like pansies. (
