This is my book, and since I reviewed the manuscript from cover to cover a minimum of seven times when I went through the exhausting editing process, it can certainly be considered that I officially read it. As for what I would rate it, well, you can assume I'm quiet biased. I'm proud of the 11 months of work I put into it, and the literary things I learned when editing and not taking no for answer in pursuit of the runners' stories. I believe that I've put something together that's quite unique in the world of publishing. I don't know any other chronicle with input from every single one of its dozens of participants, in any realm, even beyond running. I may have missed some typos, but I can, and will, fix those in real time. They shouldn't be held against me. Therefore, with deep humility, I give myself the full 5 stars. I can do that. It's mine. Nyah nyah. ( )
