When
author Joe Sinclair turned sixty-two years old, he began his quest to
run as many marathons as possible. Less than five years later, he has
logged more than four thousand miles, participating in more than 150
marathons. In his memoir, Putting Life on the Finish Line, he tells his
life story from his early years through his late sixties and details how
he achieved his running goals.
Sinclair
shares running’s rewards and challenges—crossing the finish line at the
toughest marathon in America run entirely on asphalt; completing three
marathons in three days in the hot July weather; fighting off attacks by
vicious dogs during a lonely, rural, mountain marathon; and helping a
struggling young marathoner achieve his very first marathon finish.
Offering
personal secrets for success, tips and tricks, nutritional and fitness
plans, pre-race plans, and inspiring stories, Putting Life on the Finish
Line provides encouragement for those who believe they are too old to
accomplish a dream. It shows that personal health and fitness is
attainable at any age.

The old grey donkey, Eeyore stood by himself in a thistly corner of the Forest, his front feet well apart, his head on one side, and thought about things. Sometimes he thought sadly to himself, "Why?" and sometimes he thought, "Wherefore?" and sometimes he thought, "Inasmuch as which?" and sometimes he didn't quite know what he was thinking about.
