Olympic coach writes about prayer

Alberto Salazar 30 years ago, now an Olympic coach

In the early 1980s, the man to watch in long-distance track was running legend Alberto Salazar, who won three consecutive New York City Marathons.  Now, Salazar is not only coaching Olympic hopefuls like Mo Farah & Galen Rupp (who won the gold & silver medals for the 10000m run in London this past week), but also writing about his faith life.  His new book, 14 Minutes, tells the story of his Catholic upbringing and details the way that his faith has upheld him through every part of his life, when running and when (almost) dying.  You can read a review of it here!
