I‘m a sucker for running books anyway, but this one is so fun! I listened on audio and it was like one long, sweet, funny running podcast.

I just LOVE running books. Here‘s the thing about us runners, we all love running. Otherwise we couldn‘t torture our bodies the way we do. So reading about someone else‘s journey, even the run of the mill runner as Tom Foreman is, is inspiring. He helped get me through 26.2 miles on my own journey to a PR.

I figured out readathon TBRs and I don't get along. This makes book 5 that I'm reading for #24in48 but only 1/5 was from the original TBR 😜This book is light, self deprecating, and a delight on audio. I will still never run a marathon but it's fun listening to other people talk about running theirs!

While I didn't finish A Study in Charlotte, I did finish this on audio on the ride. It was a great mix of humor, facts about running and challenging yourself physically while learning about yourself and your family relationships ❤️. It made this 48 year old bookworm nurse almost want to get off the couch and start running (almost) 😜

Never a book I thought I would read (listen to) but I must say I'm loving it! The author narrates so that makes it even better. So good!

The author's hilarious self-deprecating style really sets this book from other running memoirs I've read. At points he seems to be describing himself as someone who achieves greatness because he is too dumb to quit. Inspiring and fun read.

As people get older, life becomes all about playing it safe...but along the way, you can lose yourself.

You have to reach far down to find that delightful slice of zen that comes only when you breathe deeply, your thighs burn, and your heart thunders.
