***Edited to say: Just realized this is my 300th post! Woo hoo!***
Thanks again for all of your book recommendations in response to this post last week. I've compiled a list of the books so if you have any interest, here is what was recommended (with the number of recommendations in parentheses):
Born to Run
Books by George Sheehan (2)
My Life on the Run
Ultramarathon Man
The rest of the books all had one recommendation each:
Just a Little Run Around the World
Books
The Nonrunner's Marathon Guide for Women
Runner's World Performance Nutrition for Runners
Sports Nutrition for Endurance Athletes
The Looniness of the Long Distance Runner
I've already read a few of these (My Life on the Run, Ultramarathon Man, Duel in the Sun, The Runner's Body, Run Less Run Faster, and In Defense of Food by Michael Pollan) so my plan is to start with the first three books and work my way down the list over the next few months. Look for reviews this fall!
Do you have any additional suggestions? Feel free to let me know!

It's a beautiful Friday here in upstate New York. My little guy has a cold, unfortunately, so we've been taking it easy yesterday and today. But, tomorrow, my parents are watching him for the day and Owen and I are heading north to bet on the thoroughbreds in the "Mid-Summer Derby." Wish me luck!
Have a great weekend, everyone!

What I Talk About... and Once a Runner are currently sitting in my "TBR" pile at home, patiently waiting. But you gave me a good idea, since I have to fly to my next HM in a week I'll take at least one of those with me. Should be good pre-race inspiration!
Great list! Thanks for compiling. Hope the little fella gets better. Good luck at the derby!
This list will come in REALLY handy for Christmas ideas.. Thank you! I was thinking of posting a less intellectual request.. running inspired DVD's :)
Good luck!!
Have fun at the races!
Good book list!! Thanks for posting! I've read Pollan's Omnivore book and it totally changed the way I look at food. I'll have to pick up In Defense of Food!
