Book Reviews of My Life on the Run: The Wit, Wisdom, and Insights of a Road Racing Icon
Book Review: best since Sheehan
Summary: 5 Stars
As a running mag editor for many years I've been obligated to read/scan far too many running articles and books. My official retirement freed me of that sometimes tedious duty; however, when I found My Life on the Run, I couldn't resist. I have to say, with no ulterior motive, Bart Yasso's book is the most philosophically insightful since George Sheehan and the most engaging book on running I've read (forced or by choice). Just my opinion--but of course if I hadn't liked it, I wouldn't comment at all (my job as editor being past tense).
