At the height of the first American Running Boom, on just about any weekend morning of the year in a town nearby, you could find a folding table and a ball-point pen where you could fill out an entry blank, get a number and a few safety pins, affix it to your shirt, toe the line and run a race. Hundreds and thousands of people took joy in running and an ancient sport gained new energy. A small town in New Jersey emerged as something of a magical place in the sport. Dozens of local, state, and national champions claimed their places in the pantheon of American distance running. A junior program fed a high school team of boys and girls that claimed legend status and a young coach connected with those athletes in a way that spawned a career unlike any other. One that would eventually take root in the thin air of the Colorado foothills. BLOOD, SWEAT & SPIKES is one story of one of those runners in that town and the people who made it unique in the history of the sport.

Autorenporträt
Lyle Smith lives in the Boulder Valley drawing daily inspiration from his wife, Heather, a leading acupuncturist and fertility specialist in her field and his son, Aiden, a truly old soul who forever forces new angles from which to admire the world. Lyle's been a reporter, a caddie, a grave-digger, a marketing professional, and a runner since he discovered the sport as a youngster growing up in Bernardsville, New Jersey. You might see him out there running the trails around Boulder with his Golden Retriever, Elsa.
