RUN!



I just finished reading RUN! 26.2 STORIES OF BLISTERS AND BLISS by DEAN KARNAZES (an ultra-marathoner and adventurer which is as crazy as it sounds) Actually Ryan read this book first then passed it to me because it was so good. Well I could not agree more!!!!!

This book was so inspirational it made me want to run ultra-marathons, well until I realized I need help off the sofa right now maybe after the baby then! I have never read a book that so perfectly describe the emotional roller coaster running gives me. His mixture of antidotal stories and inspiring quotes gives the book a light hearted approach to an intense sport.

Plus I LOVE anyone who combines running with eating pizza and chocolate covered espresso beans. (For those who don’t know after trying to find an energy bar I liked I gave up and started eating chocolate chip cookies instead!!!)  
  I really want to spill the beans on all the good parts but I’ll let you read it. This is a must read for any athlete or semi-athlete!

 (HOLLY go get this book ASAP then call me and tell me what you think!!!)
