Running quote of the week:
” I don’t ever again want to read about the joy of running, the beauty, the ecstasy, the pain, the anguish, the agony, the thrill, the rapture, the pain….I don’t ever again want to hear running compared to religion, sex, or ultimate truth. “
― Frank Deford, legendary N.Y. Times Sports Writer in:
Did I Win ? – A Farewell to George Sheehan. by Joe Henderson

This week’s running read:
“Did I Win ? – A Farewell to George Sheenhan.” J Henderson. c-1995
I picked this book not because it’s another favorite, but after the 80th birthday party this weekend to honor my long-term friend and running partner of many years – Dr. John Garafola. John introduced me to the running/ writing/ physician philosopher – Dr. George Sheehan. This is a nice collection of essays assembled by Joe Henderson (runner/writer/coach) soon after Sheehan’s death in 1993.
