Manuscript Excerpt #1

After two posts, I thought it was time to present a very brief excerpt of the book, in the event you need a little arm-twisting to become a follower of the project. There will be more excerpts in the future, randomly selected so you can get an idea of what I'm doing, but not have the story ruined in the event the book is ever for sale someday. Also, it's a good way of keeping myself accountable. Hopefully, that'll be good motivation to keep working on the project.

A little set-up: The following is the beginning of what is currently the book's 20th chapter. The chapter opens with a little background on the annual Manhattan College XC Invitational. I always thought it was very cool that our team traveled to New York every year to run in this event. If you've run in this meet, then you know what it's all about. If not, well then, there's the book I'm working on that could give you some insight.

Again, the excerpt is very brief--it's just a screen shot of the Word document that I'm writing in. Hope it entices you to want to see more. (You can click on the screen shot to enlarge it.)
