Annotation

Magazine writer John Jerome compiles a list of funny, insightful micro-essays culled from his years of writing about running. The book is modeled after Strunk & White's ELEMENTS OF STYLE, and is intended to galvanize and renew interest for anyone whose yen for running may be flagging or as yet unborn. The topics covered range from metaphysics to potbellies (they burn quick, so burn them) to how to turn one's case of Iliotibial Band Syndrome (IBS) into a tool for flirting with AMOS's (Attractive Members of the Opposite Sex). Jerome is clearly interested in the line between those who run for the "magic bullet" effect on longevity and health, to those who become addicted to pushing themselves to new feats and heights, which often happens within a few months of buying the first pair of shoes.
