Albert Salazar book giveaway!

5 miles on the schedule today.  Done!  An uneventful run.  The best kind of run.  My legs felt really good today.  The countdown begins - only 50 training miles left until the Flying Pig.

---------------

Well, believe it or not, I have already finished reading Alberto Salazar's new book about his running career and his brush with death.  The book, titled "14 minutes", was a really easy read and I think was really interesting.  I love learning about the best in the running industry.

Now I know it's not big accomplishment compared to some blogs who probably get this daily, but I recently passed over 100,000 hits on the blog.  I was really excited about this!  In honor of this, I've decided to have a little give away sponsored by myself so I'm going to give one of my reader's the Salazar book.  I think you will enjoy it as much as I did.

No special rules on this one.  Just leave me a comment on this post and you're entered.  The contest will end at 7pm on Wednesday, April 25th.  Good luck!

Have a great day and....Keep Running!!!!

    Congrats on 100k blog hits! The book looks interesting. I only recently read Born to Run and enjoyed it, so I am sure this would be a good read as well.

    100+k is about 92k more than I got. I'll take your crumbs. And of course I would love the book.

    100 000 that is a lot more than me, like Mark about 90 000 less than you, but we don't write for the numbers, we write for fun, and because I don't want to work, just don't tell the boss I'm typing blogs and not reports...

    My wife would love the book (me too) she reads while on the bike (indoor trainer).

    Don't worry about me living on the other side of the world, I have a brother in the USA
