All runners, from beginners to Olympians, will delight in this luminous compendium of wisdom wrought from many years of running. Applying his clear vision and wry wit to a smorgasbord of running-related topics, including stretching, dancing, bugs, falling, spaghetti, sweat, and the food police, John Jerome shares his contagious passion for the most basic of sports. Stripping the art of running down to its barest elements, he takes readers and runners with him on a joyous journey -- a run that revels in a profound affection and respect for the single sport that is as pure and simple as it is infinitely complex.

As a lifetime runner, now approaching 60, I can relate to this book. The author's views and recollections pretty much mirror my own. I was listening to this audiobook (for the second time) while tending my yard and kept busting out laughing! Very enjoyable!Okay for what it is. It is divided into the four seasons and has little snippets on various aspects of training, exercise, and running in general.
One or two bits of wisdom or humor, but mostly boring rambling.
This book was full of a lot of articles written in magazines and other places about running. Some of it was interesting, but it's not really the kind of book that will teach you all that much. Well, maybe it will teach you some basics.
If you enjoy reading the articles from the in flight magazines of Southwest/Delta/United/etc Airlines then you might like this collection of essays.
A good collection of short thoughts on the subject of running. The short essays run the gamut of motivational, literary, scientific, and just free thought. There should be some good insightful stuff in here for anyone that runs or just interested in running.
Maybe it is because I didn't discover I love to run until the age of 48, (or maybe I should say because I rediscovered I love to run), but I love this book and really relate to it. I don't think it means that much unless you've spent time running on a regular basis.
