Sometimes it is hard to go that extra mile or run for more minutes than the day before. Even the most dedicated runner needs an extra push. The Runner's Book of Daily Inspiration uses positive thinking, humor, and practical training advice coupled with a daily affirmation or resolution to give runners reinforcement and support on those lazy, rainy, or otherwise uninspired days.
Kevin Nelson is an award-winning author, journalist, story consultant for movies, and publisher. Here are a few of his books:
* Wheels of Change: From Zero to 600 MPH, The Amazing Story of California and the Automobile. Acclaimed by automotive critics, it won a 2010 writing award from the Society of Automotive Historians, as well as being a finalist for book of the year from the Los Angeles Motor Press Guild.
* Operation Bullpen: The Inside Story of the Biggest Forgery Scam in American History. This sensational story of a nationwide forgery ring is now being developed into a feature film. Nelson has appeared on ESPN and Tru-TV talking about the book, which is the basis for a planned exhibit on memorabilia fraud at the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown.
* The Runner's Book of Daily Inspiration. Now in its ninth printing, this motivational handbook has become a perennial top seller for runners, inspiring them to achieve their goals in the sport.
* The Golden Game: The Story of California Baseball. Named one of the top ten books of 2004 by the San Francisco Chronicle, National Public Radio, and many others, it was a national finalist for the prestigious Seymour Prize, awarded annually to the best baseball book of the year.
