Chasing the Real Me

"""I would have loved reading such a book when I was a young runner! I like the message-that the path can be windy and tough in the most difficult ways for all of us. But if you can stay steady, the doors will open for you!"" - Bill Rodgers, four-time Boston and New York City Marathon champion ""Brom Hoban's extremely readable novel, Chasing the Real Me, races along on adolescent angst and energy. I found chunks of my own personal story in Hoban's tale, and I have no doubt you'll recognize parts of yourself in these illuminating pages."" - Amby Burfoot, past executive editor of Runner's World Magazine, and author of Run Forever Hoban's coming of age story, Chasing the Real Me, captures the jangly emotions of adolescence, the joys and struggles of training and racing, and the beauty and awe of the Colorado mountains in a tale everyone who has tried to run well will appreciate. - Jonathan Beverly, senior running editor, Outside magazine ""Getting through the teenage years is unsettling by itself. Trying to achieve potential in any area during this 'hormone storm' era is improbable. Brom Hoban chronicles the journey of a group of high schoolers who are transitioning into early adulthood through their track and cross-country experiences. I enjoyed his writing and recommend it."" - Jeff Galloway, Olympian, coach and author of the bestselling Galloway's Book on Running"
