That article is an excerpt from a book that's coming out soon: Born to Run.

I'm really looking forward to reading this book, and I just noticed that the author will be in my city (Portland, Ore.) for a reading in a few weeks. I imagine he's on a national book tour.

I finally got a copy of the book, it's excellent. Big doses of running inspiration.

Its a great book, just finished it, and just got my first pair of Vibram fivefingers. Scared to use them (have my first tri this weekend). Will probably try to use them next week.

Oh yeah. On my iPod shuffle for the long run. Very inspiring!
