wow, it’s all coming to a close for the third time this year…

i guess since i didn’t have to study like ya’ll (sarcasm insert here), i had plenty of time to read – i mean, what else was i going to do – create a wonderful final??? so here’s the list…

“the paladin prophecy” by mark frost – comes out in september – and will be a WONDERFUL series – if for no other reason than because it’s about xc – or rather, that cross country is included:) anyway, enjoyable

“our time” by scott illiano – high school coach – encouraging read about how to coach, how to teach (i guess just b/c that guy’s experience has been so bad with parents:)

“running” – genre-breaking book about emil zapatek – famous czech runner – originally in french – amazing story – emil was an amazing runner

“a cold, clear day” – bio on a US 1960s marathoner – buddy elphon – the guy went to london and taught and ran 130-mile weeks to become an elite athlete – held the marathon record in 1963 – at a time when the US had no distance runners – sort of a good read on going against the trend

happy studying
