Book Review: The Perfect Mile (2004) Neal Bascomb - Bannister, Landy, and Santee and the 4 minute mile

The Perfect Mile (2004) Neal Bascomb

With the passing of the great Sir Roger Bannister I highly recommend this terrific book about the great completion that occurred at that time between Englishman Bannister, Australian John Landy, and American Wes Santee.  They were all amazing, breaking the 4 minute mile on cinder tracks with lousy shoes and antiquated training methods.  Anyone who gripes that they can’t do something because they don’t have a nice enough _______ (fill in the blank) should read this book!   I wonder what these guys would have run with 2018 shoes, tracks, and training. 

Roger Bannister gave up competitive running to had a long esteemed career as a physician.   What an example of a fine human being.

Great for a cold, rainy, ICY day!

New Years Day Run 2018. 5 degrees and a Bald Eagle Sighting!

Well a nice brisk day at Alum Creek.  No one else there yet - I guess 5 degrees might scare some people off.

As I stretched before the run a Bald Eagle set down on a branch near me  - I guess trying to understand what sort of idiot does this kind of stuff.  

It was a fabulous day - sunny, brisk and the snow was packed down by the snow mobiles.  Could not have been better - well maybe 20 degrees instead of 5...

Happy New Year!
