Books: My First 100 Marathons

Dec 16, 2008

There’s nothing quite like reading a book about marathons on a weekend that you run a marathon.  I carried My First 100 Marathons: 2,620 Miles with an Obsessive Runner by Jeff Horowitz in my bag with me and read it while I was laying around on Sunday recovering. 

Jeff is a massive inspiration to any marathon runner.  The book reads like a combination travelogue + novel + running philosophy treatise.  I was really pleased with my Huntsville performance and – after reading Jeff’s book – was even more motivated to get up off the couch as quickly as possible and go run another marathon.

If you are a marathon runner, you’ll love it.
