Meditations from the Finish Line

Between these covers are 40-plus running essays, though many of them contain life lessons as well, not requiring readers to have ever toed a starting line. From the struggles of trying to qualify for the Boston Marathon, the joys and adventures of the Peachtree Road race, and the stress release of simply going out for a jog, these pages-addressed in often a witty fashion-cover that and many other aspects of the sport. 

Have you ever dropped the baton in the relay? Prayed to God and all his angels when you had two laps to go in the 3200-meter run? Tried to break the seven, or six, or five minute mile? Do you know the nervous feeling of standing at the starting line at the high school state cross country meet?

Join author Dunn Neugebauer as he laces up his shoes and takes you through the smiles, miles, and trials,  the pains, the gains, the wins and the losses involved in this thing called running.
