520    "Matt Fitzgerald has been running (and writing about 
       running) for most of his adult life. But, like many 
       passionate amateur runners, he never felt he was quite 
       fulfilling his potential. If he follows the training, 
       nutrition, and lifestyle of an elite runner, just how fast
       could he go?  In his mid-forties, Matt at last has the 
       freedom to do nothing but train, if only for the span of 
       one summer. The time is now. He convinces the coach of 
       Northern Arizona Elite, one of the country's premier 
       professional running teams, to let him train with a roster
       of national champions and Olympic hopefuls in the running 
       mecca of Flagstaff, Arizona, leading in to the Chicago 
       Marathon. The results completely redefined Matt’s 
       notion of what is possible, not only for himself but for 
       any runner.  Filled with a vibrant cast of characters, 
       rigorous and quad-torching training, and a large dose of 
       self-deprecating humor, Matt’s gripping account of 
       his 'fake pro runner' experience allows us to partake in 
       the dream of having the chance to go all the way. Yet for 
       the gifted young runners Matt trains with, it’s not
       a dream but concrete reality, and their individual stories
       enrich this inspiring narrative.  Running the Dream pulls 
       us into the rarified world of professional running in a 
       way we can all relate to, regardless of speed, and to take
       away pieces of one man’s amazing journey to try to 
       achieve our own potential." --book jacket
