| My Life on the Run: The Wit, Wisdom, and Insights of a Road Racing Icon
by Bart Yasso Bart is a writter at Runner's World Magazine and has years of running experience with enough stories to keep any runner entertained. I first found Bart through twitter and enjoyed his running posts so much that I had to buy his book. It is a very entertaining read and I often think about a few of his stories while I am running. He really is a good writer. |
