Gimme Some Road

This book describes real experiences and events that happened
over a half century of long distance running. Some are amusing like
winning a race outright because the front runner ran the wrong way.
Others bizarre like running a 5 mile race in a windchill of -50°F. All are
different they provide background to an ever changing sport - long
distance running and racing.

(Some distance past 4 miles the course came to a T junction,
runners had to turn right or left. The correct turn was to the left.
As the runner ahead of me reached the junction he slowed down
and seemed to waver. There were no volunteers visible nor was
there a direction sign, at that point I realized he didn’t know which
way to turn.)
