HILLS, HAWGS AND HO CHI MINH

At the heart of every run is an adventure. And never has adventure running been given such full voice as in this collection of stories, which includes--among others--Don's runs across the Grand Canyon, up the Empire State Building, and through the streets of Saigon in the first international marathon held in Vietnam. Whether you're an armchair athlete or a serious runner looking for inspiration and entertainment, you'll see why Sports Illustrated called Don "the only spiritual descendent of Mark Twain ever to bring his unsparing eye and antic voice to running." (Keokee Co. Publishing, Sandpoint, ID, 1996)

Don's Comment: "This collection includes stories of events I've witnessed or participated in. But it's really about the variety of experiences--tough, inspiring, goofy--available to anyone inclined to travel by foot."
