Run Like a Mother: How to Get Moving--and Not Lose Your Family, Job, or Sanity Top Quality

I got this book and another book about running about a month ago. I am planning on running my first marathon in January of 2011 and started training for it. I was looking for some reading materials to help get me mentally prepared for it. I read the marathon-specific book first, thinking it would be most helpful in this endevour. It was written by a world class marathon runner and while it was informative, gave very valuable information and even entertaining, I just did not connect with the author because she is a world class athlete and I am not and never will be. I just kept thinking, "If running a marathon was my JOB, I'd probably not have any problem doing t either". After I finished it I picked up "Run Like a Mother". It has done more for my mental preparation than I realized it would. From the intro (emails that sounded like something exchanged between my college roommate and I), I was hooked. No subject is off limits, from the physical and psychological benefits of running to periods and pregnancy and even panties, Sarah and Dimity cover it all in this witty and honest book. I felt they were saying everything I have ever thought or felt about trying to maintain the juggling act that is being a mother, wife, employee and runner. That's why I pose the question, "Did I write this book?"Get more detail about Run Like a Mother: How to Get Moving--and Not Lose Your Family, Job, or Sanity.
