Book Review

 I finished reading this book last night and highly recommend it for any woman who is not really serious about running, but wants a good read/laugh.  In fact, my husband stole this book from me after the first night because I couldn't get through the first couple of chapters without laughing out loud (he wanted to see what he was missing).   

 

Dawn does a great job of being real about marathon training.  She complains, is sarcastic, and has comments about every aspect of running.  She goes from not exercising to completing a marathon, and comes in first!  Ok, just kidding.  She definitely does not come in first which is why I liked this book.  It definitely isn't one of those crazy motivational books that you read and feel the need to go run immediately after.  Maybe I should read one of those too...   

I'll leave you with two of my favorite quotes from the book:

• I will wonder if it is physically possible for my breasts to bounce off my body...
• I'll tell you one thing: I was on about Mile 4 when that guy offered me the Bible.  Had he offered me his bike, I would have become a Mormon on the spot.
  

Let me know what you think!!
