I just bought a copy of "why die" by Percy cerrutty, "no bugles no drums" by Peter snell, "kiwis can fly", and a burned DVD of "the supermilers" for a grand total of 4 dollars at an estate sale!!!! There were probably 40 boxes of never worn old Nike spikes and shoes, and tons of old running gear from the 80's. There was literally a pillar of track and field news and runnersworld magazines. Talk about a steal...can't wait to start into these books. Had to share.

Figure out whose stuff it was? That's rare...especially for folks in the 80's. Sounds like a rep, a shoe store guy or an old road whore.
No Bugles No Drums is awesome. And $4? That's crazy talk. Great find man.
Sounds like a runner. Do you know the name of the person who died?
you should have bought the shoes. they are worth a small fortune if they are all old and unworn in their respective boxes.
I wanted to ask whose stuff it was, but it felt like it was in poor taste. I am in Gresham, Oregon. Yeah, the shoes still had stuffing in them (at least the ones I saw). I wasn't about to spend 10 bucks for old Nike zoom D's that probably wouldn't make it more than 400m! Like I said, alot of the stuff was old Nike 1980's looking stuff.
Awesome. Tell us more about the original owner. I just hope he didn't die of a heart attack. Or was a 300 lb diabetic.
