14 Minutes--#32 finished

14 Minutes is how long Alberto Salazar's heart had stopped beating during his heart attack.  Alberto Salazar was the top marathoner in the world in early '80s before the Kenyans and East Africans kind of took over the sport.  He had a short time at the top and then he is not really sure why but dropped off--he speculates in the book about exercise induced asthma if I remember right that wasn't diagnosed among many issues.  He talks about his role with Nike and how he coaches a few elite athletes and how he is helping them to success.  A good & interesting read.

There are 4 WL for it so I will mail it off at some point.
