Awesome book!

This was a cool book and really has a lot of amazing stories in it. The best story was about the kid who ran the race after he had chemo for the last time. And the other one was about the 24 hours in a blizzard and running in it so he could save his wife.I hope she finishes her next book soon.

great read!

I took my time reading this book - and I have my favorite chapters - all in all it was a great book. There are very moving stories in it and a lot of humor too. As a cancer survivor myself, I was pleasantly surprised to find two chapters, two of the authors stories about cancer survivors. Both were uplifting and really encouraged me to start running again. And I enjoyed reading about George, his day to die? I'm buying a few copies of this book to give as gifts. I hope to see more from this author.

Wonderful Book!

I started reading the book over the weekend and found I just loved it! In fact, I was very sorry to come to the end of it. I have never read such a wonderful running book before. I have a shelf full of training books and how to books reagarding running, and I'm glad that I have them, but this book filled the WHY I run so well. And not only that, it opened the door to other runners and what has happened to them. It was as if there were 26 seperate books within this book. I just can not say enough about it. If you are looking for a great gift to give to someone who is a runner, or who is thinking about running, this is it. I am also ordering several for people that don't run. Grab a cup of coffee and get ready for a great weekend when you get this book.

Outstanding Book!

This book was full of surprises! I thoughly enjoyed the refreshing style the writer has and I especially enjoyed all the wonderful people she wrote about. I have searched long and hard for true stories with "heart" that a runner like myself can enjoy and this was certainly it! I wish I could meet the author and shake her hand! I happen to be an animal lover too and it was a delight to read about Bubba and Elmer and a few other animals in a running book. I am telling everyone I know to get this book if they love running or inspirational stories. I will also mention it to non-runners that want to understand what running is really all about. I did a lot of laughing and also had a few tears roll down my face as I read each chapter. I had something to look forward to each day as each chapter is about a different person. I felt like I was running right along with a few of the runners she knows! Great book! Cheers!
