#3

My Secret Santa gave me a really cool Christmas gift ~ book #3 The Runner's Guide to the Meaning of Life by Amby Burfoot.  It's a good little book by the winner of the 1968 Boston Marathon.  {Ok, that was mentioned about 15 times throughout the book ~ but every time I want to say something snarky about it...I realize that if I were to have won the Boston Marathon...I would mention it 15 times a day, everyday, forever}
Lots of truth.  Some funny stuff.  Helps me in this time of a running 'low' that it's ok...I am still a "runner" and it's ok to have these cycles.

Best Quote p106 ~ is one of Amby's favorite quotes ~ "You have to forget your last marathon before you try another.  Your mind can't know what's coming." ~ Frank Shorter, 1972 Olympic Marathon gold medalist.
