5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book for Runners!, December 10, 2005
By KH (Atlanta, GA) - See all my reviews
From Fairbanks to Boston is a great read for someone who has never run a marathon (like me). I loved the different personal story of each marathon, and it was motivating to read the experiences of so many first time
marathoners. If you are a runner, then the book can also be your preview guide to the layout and the organization of each marathon.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Resource!, June 14, 2005
Ordered this off a flyer I got at a race - turned out to be a great resource. Loved the personal accounts of the various races, I haven't seen anything like it before. A fun read! Now I have a (another) great excuse to drag my family to Hawaii!
