Why Chosen
Dallas Smith was one of my professors at Tennessee Tech. Since retirement, he has become an endurance legend in Tennessee and an ambassador of the sport of running. I purchased his first book, Falling Forward, after catching-up with him at a 5k race in 2008. Reading his book and learning of his accomplishments inspired me challenge myself and try new things. You don't have to be a runner to enjoy his book, which recounts some of his adventures across Tennessee and beyond.
