Book excerpt: Rave Reviews for Boston Marathon 2010: "Great selection of 'around the event' shots that tell a story" -- Jonathan Beverly, Editor-in-Chief Running Times Magazine // "Awesome photos!" -- Dave McGillivray, Boston Marathon Race Director // "If you want to get to Boston, this would serve as great motivation. If you've been to Boston, this will serve as a cherished memory piece. I loved it." -- Gary Thomas, Boston Marathon Finisher // On Monday April 19, 2010, the Boston Marathon featured some of the most impressive racing in years, several elite and general field records were broken, including the fastest finish, the best American time, wheelchair milestones, number of participants and finishers, and more. The author, a 13-time Boston Marathon finisher, was there to capture the legendary race in images. More than 120 photos are presented here in full-color, in full-size 8x10 coffee table book format.Notably, this book represents the culmination of what is perhaps the most extensive single-day, solo Boston Marathon photo coverage presented as a collection, ever. From sunrise to late afternoon, from Boston to Hopkinton and back again, at the start, on the course's early miles in Ashland, and at the finish line on Boylston, the author was there to record the indelible scenes of this epic event.The author's live-action race photos have been featured by national broadcast, print and internet outlets for years. Boston 2010 was no exception; many of the images throughout this book were featured on CNN's global coverage of the Marathon. In the author's own words:"The point of the journey is not to arrive, but to celebrate the moments along the way. That was my purpose as I photographed the race, and that is what I present in this book: the moments that make the Boston Marathon what it is, the moments that make it legendary. "This is the Boston Marathon as I see it. This is what Epic looks like."

Book excerpt: In his autobiography Running through My Mind: Confessions of an Every Day Runner, author and runner Scott Ludwig states he would like to write a book about the superheroes he's grown to know throughout his running lifetime. Ludwig's second book, A Passion for Running: Portraits of the Everyday Runner tells the amazing stories of 18 runners he has grown to respect and admire in his 31 years as a runner. Inside you will meet: Anne, an admitted couch potato at 40 and accomplished 100-mile runner at 56. Bobbi, the first woman to run the Boston Marathon during a time when women 'weren't capable of running more than 1 1/2 miles.' Elizabeth, who ran through the dark to complete her first 100-mile run despite having no vision at night..and 97% vision loss during the day. Sarah, the only finisher--male or female--of a bitterly cold race which just happened to be 135 miles long. Lloyd, a beginning runner at 59 and holder of various age group records once he reached the ages of 70, 75, 80 and now 85. Bob, winner of countless races in his 30's and 40's who can't seem to slow down in his 50's. Jerry, who ran an official marathon course 200 times in the year 2000 because...well, just because. Al, who has run a sub-five minute mile, sub-three hour marathon, and 100 miles in less than 24 hours at age 60 yet still imagines what the future holds at the age of 64. All have their own unique story to tell, and Ludwig is proud to be the one to tell them. You'll find all of their stories fascinating: how running became a part of their lives; their approach to the physical, psychological and emotional demands of running; and their special advice and insight into the sport. You'll also hear their personal accounts of the most memorable running event in each of their lives, from the Boston Marathon to the Comrades Marathon to the Western States Endurance Run to the blistering Badwater Ultramarathon to the frigid Arrowhead 135 Their stories will be sure to inspire and motivate you for a lifetime.

Book excerpt: Two weeks after the United States officially entered World War I, Irish American "Bricklayer Bill" Kennedy won the Boston Marathon wearing his stars-and-stripes bandana, rallying the crowd of patriotic spectators. Kennedy became an American hero and, with outrageous stories of his riding the rails and sleeping on pool tables, a racing legend whose name has since appeared in almost every book written on the Boston Marathon. When journalist Patrick Kennedy and historian Lawrence Kennedy unearthed their uncle's unpublished memoir, they discovered a colorful character who lived a tumultuous life, beyond his multiple marathons. The bricklayer survived typhoid fever, a five-story fall, auto and train accidents, World War action, Depression-era bankruptcy, decades of back-breaking work, and his own tendency to tipple. In many ways, Bill typified the colorful, newly emerging culture and working-class ethic of competitive long-distance running before it became a professionalized sport. Bricklayer Bill takes us back to another time, when bricklayers, plumbers, and printers could take the stage as star athletes.
