An Honorable Run

hbakker — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 18:21:31 +0000

An Honorable Run (Paperback) – What is the name of the coach who changed your life? As a young runner, I had two: Coach Wetmore and Coach Brown. Single-minded, driven to escape small town Iowa, I ran to win. Never satisfied, I once threw our high school team’s second place medals into a muddy cornfield. My Iowa high school track coach, Bob Brown, dreamed of owning a Harley, but the only bike he rode was a beat-up blue Schwinn, pedaling alongside his athletes. Hugs were his trademark coaching tool. My college coach, the University of Colorado’s Mark Wetmore, built champion runners on Magnolia, a mountainous dirt road where he tested their will to be the best. He had run every day for thirty years, and accepted few walk-ons, like me, into his storied program. I barely had time to say goodbye before I left Coach Brown to chase my dream of earning a coveted spot on Coach Wetmore’s team. *An Honorable Run*chronicles the life-altering lessons I learned during my journey. It answers the question I had always taken for granted: *What is really important?*
