brain candy for the runner in you

run like a mother: how to get moving -- and not lose your family, job, or sanity.
by dimity mcdowell and sarah bowen shea.

i have to admit, i wanted more from this book, not sure what....
it was cute.
a bit funny.
mostly anecdotal....with a few running tips thrown in.
and more than a few endorsements for running skirts.
i might be convince to get one this summer.

i did laugh.
for that i am thankful to have spent 26 (.2) chapters with these authors.
but my overall impression was that this would have been a very good article in runner's world. i think the pitch to make it a full 200 page book made the information too thin..... but that could be because i am a runner and some of the information was not new...... but if i was just starting out as a runner.... i think this might have been perfect for me...but that sounds really elitist of me..... there was some good stuff in there....helpful, funny, relevant.

i did appreciate many of the quotes from other mothers and also the reality that running is something i do because i just need to.....my family needs me to..... my body and brain need me to. so, yes, i did glean something.....

now i just need to lace up those shoes again.
....and um, winter, i am over you!
