Going Far: Reflecting on the years when running grew up, and a writing career took off (English Edition)

The Going Far book mimics its memoir predecessor, Starting Lines, in format by visiting days that set the course of my life. But something is different this time. In Starting Lines, I recreated the stories largely from my memories and family legends because I did no writing of this type at the time. By 1967, however, I was a more-than-fulltime writer. It was my job, as a journalist, and also my hobby, as a daily journal-keeper. So this book draws heavily from published works and diary pages written when events were current. They refresh memories that had faded and correct those that time had edited.
