Critics Review
“As a professional humorist who often writes about running, I had believed it was impossible to be genuinely and consistently funny about the topic, and I am very annoyed at Mr. Remy for proving me wrong.” –Peter Sagal, host of NPR’s Wait Wait … Don’t Tell Me! and author of The Incomplete Book of Running “If you have a friend who is new to running, a longtime training partner, or if you just want a good laugh at yourself, get a copy of The Running Dictionary. Anyone in the running community will see themselves in the definitions!” –Kara Goucher, two-time Olympian and bestselling author of The Longest Race “You’ll laugh, but you may also blush in recognition as Remy’s definitions fondly skewer the quirks and contradictions (and bald-faced lies?) that lurk in the runner’s heart.” –Alex Hutchinson, New York Times bestselling author of Endure and The Explorer’s Gene
