Running Full Circle by Frank Greally
 
This book traces Frank's emergence in the 1960s as a prodigious talent in his native Mayo, his turbulent years as a homesick scholorship athlete in East Tennessee-----where he majored in English Literature and Journalism as well as 'music and moonshine'--and his subsequent struggles with depression and alcohol.
 
It also documents a lifelong love affair not only with athletics but also with words and includes warmly drawn portraits of the many runners as well as writers who along the way influenced and inspired him.
 
β€œI am delighted to be coming to Galway to meet so many great friends there especially my former East Tennessee State University running team mate, Ray McBride, β€œ Frank Greally said. β€œI have great memories of running in Galway over the years and as a young athlete I won the Pearse AC Road Race and the New Year’s Eve Around the Houses events.”
