Miles of Motherhood

By Sheila Scott

Feet clad in her favorite running shoes, Sheila pulls at the heartstrings of moms of all ages. With self-deprecating humor and heartfelt comparisons between the life of a mom and a runner, this memoir takes the reader through a life long journey. This story goes the distance, racing along with topics such as gear, nutrition, injuries, consistency, teamwork, and post-race parties, both for race finishes and big childhood milestones. Sheila provides a first-hand account of her own introduction to running as a young student and shows the reader how running has been a constant fixture in her life. Through decades of change, growing children and major achievements, Sheila gives a glimpse of what life looks like over forty years after that very first start line. Candidly, she tells of heart-warming, and sometimes heart-breaking, stories that many mothers will relate to. The depth of devotion that long-distance running and motherhood both share is remarkable. With thoughtful insights and observations, yet never taking herself too seriously, Sheila brings the reader back to what is most important. She encourages the reader to slow down and treasure whatever mile they're in.
