With the Buffaloes : A Season Inside With Mark Wetmore, Adam Goucher, and
the University of Colorado Mens Cross Country Team
by Chris Lear
Book Description: At the outset, the 1998 cross country season appeared
to hold magnificent promise for the men of the University of Colorado.
With 2000 Olympic hopeful Adam Goucher poised for his first-ever NCAA cross
country title and the Buffaloes shooting for their first-ever national
team title, it seemed that nothing could stand in the way of their victory.
But in the rigorous world of top-level collegiate sports, blind misfortune
can sabotage the dreams of individuals and teams alike. Plagued by the
onset of numerous injuries and the tragic loss of a beloved teammate, the
Buffaloes found themselves challenged in ways they could not have foreseen.
What they managed to achieve in the face of such adversity is the stuff
of legend and glory.

Paperback
Once
a Runner
by John L. Jr. Parker
Book Description: This is the inspirational cult classic that Runner's
World (and many others) have called "the best novel ever written about
running".
The Reno Gazette-Journal has also called it "a book so good, people
will steal it."
How often do you hear about someone borrowing a friend's book, then
later buying their own copy because they liked it so much? Or a book so
treasured that it gets passed from friend to friend until it simply falls
apart from so many readings? Once a Runner is such a book. It has become
a cult classic and our all-time best seller. It's been acclaimed over the
years by Frank Shorter, Bill Rodgers, Alberto Salazar and many other top
runners.
Many regard the story of Quenton Cassidy's battle to the top as the
most accurate portrayal yet written of the tiny universe of world class
runners. And it's a great source of training inspiration and wisdom as
well. Many readers say they learned more about running from this novel
than from all the training books they have read.
It has won Running magazine's award as the best book of the year, and
has been highly acclaimed by Runner's World, Running Times, Racing South,
and Track & Field News, as well as by writers like Don Kardong, Kenny
Moore Tom Jordan and Hal Higdon.
