Great book!

I really enjoyed listening to it as it took me back to my days at Connell high School.

fascinating competitive running story

As someone who does an occasional 5k race, I was fascinated to learn about what it's like to be a competitive runner in high school and college. It was interesting to learn about what the equipment and training used to be like in the not so distant past.
I particularly enjoyed the reader who had a great voice. He was so convincing that it seemed like it was actually the author himself reading his own story.
