Review: An inspiring read. - Before the 'baby years', I used to run to keep fit and for the sheer enjoyment of it. Now, after 4 babies and 12 years off the scene, I have finally got my youngest into school and the trainers are calling me again. If I needed any more motivation, this book is it. Full of anecdotal humour yet packed with useful tips and information, this was an easy and pleasurable read.
Review: If she did it, then so can I! (I hope!) - Being someone who is on week 2 of the C25K program, I was browsing about for some inspiration and reminders that I will indeed survive this beginning of a running program. I enjoyed hearing of Alex's nervousness and doubt. She's a good writer and I could relate to many of the feelings she talks about in her book. I do wish she had spent a little more time talking about the beginning of her journey. It seemed like she went from "wanting to die" directly to "I just ran my first 9 miler!" I still felt inspired by this book and will be remembering some of the wonderful thoughts as I plod along, trying to remind myself that I CAN do this. Thanks for the inspiration, Alex! Oh! Part 2 of the book has some great information on types of injuries, female-specific questions, and a few other things that, as a beginning runner, I appreciated. (and now I know my legs are not going to literally fall off, they are merely tired and adapting to this new activity.) :)

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An inspiring read.
*by C***E on September 7, 2014*

Before the 'baby years', I used to run to keep fit and for the sheer enjoyment of it. Now, after 4 babies and 12 years off the scene, I have finally got my youngest into school and the trainers are calling me again. If I needed any more motivation, this book is it. Full of anecdotal humour yet packed with useful tips and information, this was an easy and pleasurable read.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Made my first few weeks of running easier and joyful!
*by C***S on April 15, 2014*

This book has made me laugh until I could hardly breathe and cry just as hard. I have always been the least athletic person in my family. I was the one with the best grades and the nerd, so I found excuses not to even try physically in PE at school. I told myself it just wasn't my "thing," even though I secretly envied those who were athletic and fit. I started a 5k training program a couple weeks ago, and heard myself saying inwardly, "You can't do this. You aren't physically strong enough." Being a cancer survivor and having a rare lung disease would be easy excuses for me, but they taught me that I am stronger than I thought- and now I want to be a runner. Just for me. I want to prove to myself that I can use my body to move me forward, not just be a victim and suffer its illnesses and pains. This book has given me such courage through the first two weeks of training, and I know I will reread it over and over.
