The Reasons I Run is a can-do story which offers the reader a
rare glimpse inside the mind of a competitive runner. Dennis
Gravitt was an average athlete whose internal drive compelled him
to press the boundaries of his physical limitations. As the story
unfolds, Dennis transforms himself from a middle-of-the-pack
athlete into a competitive runner. He would eventually enjoy a
career spanning 28 years. This is a memoir which chronicles his
journey, both inner and outer, with all of its ups and downs-the
victories and the disappointments. Dennis also shares the lessons
learned, candidly examines some of running's modern paradigms, and
challenges others to step beyond the constraints of their own
comfort zones.

No one understands this more than Marc Edwards, whose winding road from blue collar Norwood, Ohio to the NFL and ultimately the Super Bowl was littered with derailing pot holes. How Marc became a successful family man and an old-school battering ram of a Super Bowl champion should no longer be a mystery. Odyssey: From Blue Collar, Ohio to Super Bowl Champion chronicles Marc's personal quest for something great and how a cast of family members and behind-the-scenes family friends helped to keep him on track. Freelance writer and former award-winning newspaper sports editor Aaron M. Smith takes the reader on an intriguing ride through the rigors and joys of transforming from a third-grader with a dream to a captain at legendary Notre Dame and eventually to the starting backfield for the world champion New England Patriots. Marc's struggles and eventual triumph will serve as inspiration and offer proof that you most certainly can do anything you want if you simply put in the effort.
