{"product_id":"blood-sweat-spikes-lyle-smith-9798989265985","title":"Blood, Sweat \u0026 Spikes: Running the Wetmore Way","description":"\u003cp\u003eAt the height of the first American Running Boom, on just about any weekend morning of the year in a town nearby, you could find a folding table and a ball-point pen where you could fill out an entry blank, get a number and a few safety pins, affix it to your shirt, toe the line and run a race. Hundreds and thousands of people took joy in running and an ancient sport gained new energy. A small town in New Jersey emerged as something of a magical place in the sport. Dozens of local, state, and national champions claimed their places in the pantheon of American distance running. A junior program fed a high school team of boys and girls that claimed legend status and a young coach connected with those athletes in a way that spawned a career unlike any other. One that would eventually take root in the thin air of the Colorado foothills. BLOOD, SWEAT \u0026amp; SPIKES is one story of one of those runners in that town and the people who made it unique in the history of the sport.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lyle Smith\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798989265985\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Zolly House Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/15\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 270\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.13lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.63d","brand":"Lyle Smith","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46618222559487,"sku":"9798989265985","price":28.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8f3c3adc-0e7a-4876-8643-1f415bf7aca1.jpg?v=1740069498","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/blood-sweat-spikes-lyle-smith-9798989265985","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
