Description:

A book for anyone who loves to run marathons, by someone who loves them enough to have started and finished 100 of them!

Eighteen years later he completed his one-hundredth marathon. This book is Jeff's story, but it is also the story of everyone who loves to run. It includes his training, his injuries, his best times, his joys, his friends, his failures. In some ways, it's an unusual story. How many other runners have finished…
