Amazon.com Book Description (ISBN 0736040358, Paperback)

Whether you fall in the middle of the pack, up near the front of the pack, or so far from any semblance of a pack that you’re wondering if everyone went home already, you’ll find plenty to laugh about in this book. Popular running humorist Bob Schwartz—like the Dave Barry of running—will have you in stitches as he pokes fun at the idiosyncratic personalities of runners and the strange and hilarious situations they encounter.

I Run, Therefore I Am—Nuts! brings out the humor in situations that every type of runner can relate to:

• The intricate art of drinking on the run from paper cups

• Trying to reacquaint fingers to toes after years of tight hamstrings

• Hitting the wall

• Having your heart flutter with the newest cushioned training shoe

• Discovering cross-training contraptions designed to strengthen your gluteus to its maximus

• Getting excited about the latest flavor of energy gel on the market

If you love the aromatic smell of perspiration, enjoy the exhilaration of exhaustion, drink solely from squirt bottles, or fill your wardrobe with reflective clothing—this book is for you.
