A collection of 30 articles/pieces. It provides a range of information that involves story-telling, factual research, reflection mixed with nostalgia, and the effect of aging on distance running performance. Its flavor is more about entertaining the reader, being topical, while attempting to deliver underlying messages and some limited social narrative. It’s not meant to be a collection of scientific research essays. 

The collection is eclectic. Each piece is very different and tends to stand on its own.  While
often centering on the master experience the articles have broader application to the general
running population, men, and women.
