Women run for all kinds of reasons. We run for health, to ease tension, for strength, to challenge ourselves, to be social with friends, as professional athletes or the dream of being one, to turn our minds on, and to turn them off. Whether running a marathon, taking a quick jog around the neighbourhood, or trying to reach the top of Pikes Peak, women of all ages and abilities have discovered running. In Women Who Run a wide range of women, including Olympians, marathoners, ultra runners, young track phenoms, and recreational runners, talk about why they run, what drives them, and what continues to spark their interest in the sport. Women Who Run features Bobbi Gibb, the first woman to run the Boston Marathon Louise Cooper, breast cancer survivor and finisher of the grueling 135-mile Badwater Marathon Kristin Armstrong, who found solace and camaraderie in running with other women post-divorce Olympic runner and two-time LA Marathon winner and Kenyan Lornah Kiplagat, Wall Street Journal reporter and Muslim women's activist, Asra Nomani Pam Reed who ran 300-miles in one run,and many more.This book will inspire and motivate you to get off the couch and find your inner runner.… (més)

I know my last review said I was getting ambivalent about these Seal Press books, which is why it's funny that my random number generator picked this one for me to read next. I enjoy books about running, they always get me motivated and excited for whatever races and training I have coming up. I like how this book profiled women who were both super fast and also women who are normal like me. ( )

This wasn't on any "to read" list but it turned out to be just as important as any list book. I took Women Who Run with me to Baltimore which turned out to be the greatest strategy for the shortest flight I have ever been on. Less than an hour air time (each way) afforded me the luxury of quick chapter reads. I could start and stop without feeling disconnected. Since each chapter is "stand alone" and completely unrelated to the next one I could bounce around from story to story. I didn't have to read them in order (and I didn't). 16 different women (counting the author) have shared 16 different running stories. How they started running, when they felt they could officially call themselves runners, their biggest triumphs and their hardest-to-swallow defeats. These women recount the relationships they gained from running as well as the ones they lost; how running saved their lives and even, on some occasions, their souls. There are stories about how mothers juggle family life and how career women stay driven and how the lines blur when running, family, and business are equal parts of their lives. There are stories of women driven by competition while others are driven by something more personal, something more spiritual. There are stories of women who society labels as "unlikely" runners yet run, they do. There are so many different stories I am willing to bet every reader will find a little of herself in one of them. ( )

To my grandmother, Eleanor Sosienski, who played tennis until she was eighty and only quit when she got knocked out by a fastball one afternoon. And to Rebecca Rusch, who taught me that the body and mind are capable of so much more than we ever could imagine. And lastly, to all of the women in my life, especially my mom, who have inspired me to run hard, run fast, and live fully because life only has the limits I put on it.
