Your chance to be famous...

Hey whattup? I think you should find a picture of you racing or at the start or finish, adding more relevance since you are one of the authors and have been fairly successful at the Marathon, I figure you are basing your philosophy on what you and Randy use as a training guide, so why not use either you or Randy on the cover. Not trying to prevent anyone from getting famous though...:)

Dbelco,

You are too kind.. Thank you for the thought. The problem there is that we went that route with the first book, so having two with our picture borders on egotistic... Something maybe Mayeroff might do, but count me out.

Trials of miles,

Greg

C'mon Greg...I say you and Randy on the cover a second time!

Seriously though, I would give Carey Pinkowski a call in Chicago, or even the start of Valley of the Sun last year was pretty cool...sunrise over Usery Mtn Park. I think Sue would send you a pic.

Email me and let me know if interested or if you need Sue's contact info.

Brett (and Suzy too!)

Me! Me! Put Me on the cover...I deserve it! I am the marathon champion!

Very funny Douglas... Hey, are you coming back out to Craftsbury this year or not?

Well I tried...But hey if it is any consolation, or consideration, that one guy wrote a book on training and it did fairly well and the copy I have has no pictures on it, just a hard back blue cover and the title, some guy named Lydiard??!!?? Just messin' I wish you and Randy the best and hope that you find a good cover and that the book goes over well with its intended market! Take care and nice conversatin' wit ya!

Well, since your book is on training for the marathon--your target audience is going to be late 20s and early 30s, so you shouldn't have a bunch of kids at the start of a race (my first idea). Hmmmm how about a runner superimposed with the Parthenon? Nay! That is silly. How about a collage of runners at various popular marathons throughout the world? Or perhaps a diverging pic of a female and male marathon runner--or runners. Or a nice horizon shot with runners in the foreground.

Dude you have no clue. The marathoners over 40 years of age make up about 59% of the field of most marathon races. What were you thinking when you wrote that?

have someone breaking the tape with one hand held high.

I think you should show picture of American runner falling on ground with ambulance coming to help him live and many American people crying while in background Moroccans, Kenyans, and Ethiopians are laughing, dancing, and singing after they win race and all American money.

Wished I had thought of that.
