Description
"A Runner Reminisces" by Andrew Sherwood is a collection of essays on his years of running around the world, from a first disastrous attempt at cross-country in his Scottish boarding school to winning US national championships in late middle age. Along the way he is followed by inquisitive monkeys in Malaysia, attacked by vicious magpies in Australia, runs with an armed escort beside the River Nile in Egypt, narrowly escapes a fate worse than death in Tunisia, takes part in an Olympic Games Marathon Trial, races up a precipitous Welsh mountain, breaks a world record with his team from Atlanta and shakes hands with Sir Roger Bannister.
