The book is published! It brings a great sense of relief and satisfaction. For years I have worried about finishing it, and then worried about how it would look when printed. I am happy with its appearance, but now I can start worrying about whether anybody will buy it.
I think the fact that I always do this thing of looking for the next step as soon as I have reached the one I was aiming for was a major factor in pushing my running career forward.

Every once in a while I'd wonder what you're up to and try to send a message only to have it come back. Can't wait to buy a copy of your book. Come visit in Newton but no more repeat 1/4s for me.

why have you suddenly decided to write & publish book now despite retiring a number of years ago ?



Do you still run for recreation

Just ordered a copy of the book from Amazon. I do hope there is a chapter on the early nineties mid week race at Newton Aycliffe ( a Chris White spectacular!) when I beat both you and Mick Mcleod, what do you mean it was only a training run ! Happy days.

Charlie,

Excellent little book, thoroughly enjoyed it.

Perhaps you remember me from your days in Boston though I am not certain that we were ever competing in the same races for some reason.

I would love to add your appendix with your running log to my website with your permission. I will be adding your book title to my bibliography page.

Best regards,

Bob
