Summary: Fantastic!
Review: Finally, a humorist who is a runner takes a wonderfully funny look at all runners. This book had me laughing out loud from the moment I opened it as each of the short, snappy chapters are filled with wonderful humor in a very well written, easy flowing and creative manner.
Bob is a skillful author and very funny and entertaining. I've read many of his articles on family life as well and would love to see a similar book on that subject.
I highly recommend I Run, Therefore I Am - Nuts! to all runners. The book is simply great! I've actually read it twice now and had the same amount of laugh out loud chuckles along the way.

Summary: I run, therefore I am - nuts
Review: I got this book for my husband who loves to run, but hates to read. He has not put this book down. He is laughing throughout the whole thing because he can relate to SO much of what it says.
It is a great book, full of information, and also very entertaining! I recommend it for anyone. (Even I, a non-runner,
am enjoying the parts he reads out loud to me!)

Summary: Running Nut!!
Review: I have been a runner for over 30 years and in that time have read countless books on running and I must say I have NEVER read a work which captures the true essence of we "nutty" runners as Bob Schwartz's book, I Run Therefore I am... Nuts. Mr. Schwartz spots the humor in our running addiction and exposes it heart and soul. The book is a collection of essays which are brilliantly funny and cover everything from why we run to how we turn our training into a way of life. The humor is self-effacing and gently prodding and so utterly accurate that I laughed and laughed with each turn of the page. Excellent! I recommend it to any runner who has a tendency to take his running too seriously to those runners just getting started and wondering if they are...NUTS!! Write on!!

Summary: I'm saving the 5-star rating for his next book...
Review: I have no idea if Bob is writting another book, but he should. He has plenty of material. Many of his articles have appeared in a local running publication, the Washington Running Report. Bob is a well-seasoned runner who has verified, that which is most personal is most universal. Chapter 8 is the perfect example (I'm not going to tell you what it is, you have to read it). He is funny because he is sincere... he doesn't resort to dorky puns. An amazingly well done first book. Buy it and savor the wisdom.

Summary: Running because I AM nuts - how did he know?
Review: I just finished training long and hard this year and ran a half-marathon in Green Bay and the infamous Chicago Marathon in October. Mr. Schwartz brings all the training, worry, skill, fartleks and split times to true reality. Who else would line his family up on the driveway to practice running and grabbing water cups? Side-splitting reality to a recreational sport, that millions of us road-warriors take ever-so seriously. I read a chapter at the Dr. Office (I was in for a re-check after a bout with an ER visit for dehydration/heat exhaustion after a long run - did I say I am NUTS?) and realized I was laughing out loud, all the while other patients were sitting, staring with that bored, glazed looked in their eyes. If only I could have shared Mr. Schwartz's wit & humor about pinning the race number on his shirt at 2am, shopping for the best energy gel, and his thinking that the first-ever marathon had to have been run by Kenyans, not Greeks. It's a good read, the chapters are short (a fartlek of a book), and any runner will enjoy.

Summary: Simply Loved It!!!!!!!!!!
Review: I may be one of the few runners who had not yet heard of Bob's wonderfully written book. Thankfully I came upon it at the bookstore and I could not put it down. It's filled with rip roaring laughter as Bob takes us on a hilarious romp through all things (and then some) near and dear to runners and provides some insight as well. I enjoyed all the many chapters but some stand out so well that just thinking of them makes me break out in laughter (from Introduction to Ingurgitation to Trick or Feet to Lifetime Taper for a Masterful Peak). If you want to laugh, this is the book for you. Tremendous!
