The Runner's Guide to the Meaning of Life by Amby Burfoot

The Runner's Guide to the Meaning of Life reveals as much about reaching your full potential as it does about sport. Boston Marathon winner Amby Burfoot, one of running's wisest voices, presents 15 life lessons about passion, courage, materialism, failure, and regeneration, all learned during his more than 35 years of experience in running. He discusses a runner's essential traits--qualities necessary for everyone striving to reach a long-term goal--as well as the writing, music, and quotes that have continually inspired him. Most important, Burfoot explains that winners are not those who cross the finish line first, but those who discover more about themselves with every step.

Since 1978, Amby Burfoot has worked as an editor for Runner's World. He has run over 110,000 miles in his life and is the author or co-author of six books, including the 1968 Boston Marathon. He is a resident of Mystic, Connecticut.
