E pluribus unum...I think that is how you spell it. Anyway, this is just one of many other running blogs, most of which are probably far better than this one, but none the less, here I am to write about that which I love to do, run. Also, it gives me a chance to relieve my wife from endless dribblings about intervals, chaffing, and professional running.
Just so there is no confusion, I have no connection to Steve Prefontaine. He is however someone I look up to as a runner. He made running popular and helped the cause of professional runners in the United States, something that far too many people are unaware of. "To give anything less than your best, is to sacrifice the gift", one of Pre's most popular sayings, epitomizes the running spirit. Not just for those that compete to win prizes or medals, but to all of us who have breath and two legs.
So I hope everyone enjoys this and finds it somewhat entertaining.

Runner Profile
- Austin Selby
- I have been running and a student of running since the time I was in the 0-14 age group. I was a state qualifier in Cross Country throughout High School, and a near misser in track. I was a walk on at the University of Tennessee for one season, which ended due to the coach saying my 5'9" 130 body was a little heavier than they like their runners. I now pursue the marathon with a vehement passion, and love its challenges. I love this sport and how it is growing in America. We live in a time of American Distance Running excellence and we should celebrate it.
