Great Book!
) 
I bought this book for my sister. I already own a copy of my own. Very motivational for women who want to begin a walking or running program. When I began I could only run 2 minutes without stopping...I now run 40 minutes and am continuing to progress. Kathrine Switzer's book contains a ten week program for becoming a 30 minute walker or runner. It also has great tips about safety, injury prevention and clothing choices. I especially like the way she reminds you that you are not competing against anyone but yourself. If you need to stop running and walk for a few minutes...do it. If you aren't ready to move to the next weeks goal...stay where you are for an extra week. She stresses that you should listen to your body. I highly recommend this book! It has changed my life!

Being just over 40 I was intrigued by the title of this book alone. I remember so well the days of my youth when I could run seemingly forever. I had thought those days were behind me and then I found this book.
It is not only informative but also inspiring with tips on how to get started no matter what age or activity level you are at. This book offers practical ideas on how to begin and absolutely no guilt if you are a fitness walker rather than a runner.
Information includes the authors personal stories, dressing for running/walking success, how to keep a running journal and clearly outlines all of the health benefits. This book offers the support you need to get started and to keep on going. Safety issues are addressed, time management tips and the keys to a healthy diet. This book has met all of my hopes and expectations. I have read it over and over and highly recommend it for anyone over, and even those under 40 who would like to either begin running or get back in the game. Learn how not only to survive being over 40 but to thrive.
