About THE Authors

MICHAEL WILLE isa graduate of the CIA. No, not that CIA. The Culinary Institute of America. He enjoys adventure, travel, culinary arts, and, of course, running. He spent 2 years working in East Africa as a remote catering and safari chef. He now freelances, which allows him to cook on small yacht ocean crossings, remote resorts in the Sierras, and small restaurants in the San Francisco Bay Area, which he calls home. In the summer of 1998, he completed a hike of the 2,650-mile Pacific Crest Trail. He used to consider that his biggest physical challenge—until he was hit with Portal Vein Thrombosis. He has also been diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease and is currently training for the 2002 Marathon des Sables.

GAIL KISLEVITZ is the author of two books, First Marathons, acompilation of told-in-their-own-words first marathon experiences by a wide range of runners, from world class to seemingly ordinary; and It’s Never Too Late, which brings together the experiences of people who came to exercise later in life. Gail has been published frequently in M&B and is one of the few runners who has seen Johnny J. Kelley’s feet.

DICK BEARDSLEY remains one of the four fastest U.S. marathon runners, even though his best times came in the early 1980s. In June of 2001 Dick returned to the Grandma’s Marathon in Duluth (the subject of his “Most Unforgettable” feature in this issue) with the intention of running a sub-3:00 marathon 20 years after running his breakthrough 2:09 there. Dick suc-

’ ceeded, turning in a 2:55. Dick and his wife Mary and son Andrew live in Detroit Lakes, Minnesota, where Dick is a radio and TV personality and spends the summer months guiding anglers between giving speeches at running events around the country.

ROGER ROBINSON was ranked number one masters road racer in the world by The Runner magazine in 1980 and set a New York City Marathon over-50 record (2:28:02) in 1990. He is Professor of English and former Academic Vice-Chancellor at Victoria University of Wellington in New Zealand, though he now lives part-time as a writer in New York. His major work of literary scholarship is the Oxford Companion to New Zealand Literature (1998), and his most recent Robert Louis Stevenson: His Best Pacific Writings (Exisle, Auckland, 2001). He writes frequently on running and its history. His Heroes and Sparrows: A Celebration of Running (1986) is often listed as one of the sport’s best books (e.g. volume 5, issue 1 of this magazine). In 1997-99, he was the second “On the Road” columnist for this magazine, succeeding his wife Kathrine Switzer.

JEFF HOROWITZ lives in Washington, DC, where he is a certified personal trainer and marathon coach. He has run 64 marathons around the world, including Antarctica, and he loves long-distance cycling.
