Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. A collection of the best writing on running--for anyone who loves reading as much as running, or who just loves to run.   This inspiring collection of forty-eight short stories and poems--brimming with courage, fear, pain, hope, and elation--offers an intimate glimpse of the runner's art and heart.

Housman. Whether you're a weekend athlete, an Olympic hopeful, or simply someone who likes to read rather than run, this wonderful and exhilarating anthology has something to offer.   "Animates the spirit of running better than any other book."--Runner's World.…
