When she decided to take up running in her thirties, she had high hopes for a blissful runner's high and immediate physical transformation. After eating three slices of toast with honey and spending ninety minutes on iTunes creating the perfect playlist, she hit the streets--and failed miserably. The stories of her first runs turn the common notion that we are all "born to run" on its head--and exposes the truth about starting to run: it can be brutal. Running Like a Girl tells the story of getting beyond the brutal part, how Alexandra makes running a part of her life, and reaps the rewards: not just the obvious things, like weight loss, health, and glowing skin, but self-confidence and immeasurable daily pleasure, along with a new closeness to her father--a marathon runner--and her brother, with whom she ultimately runs her first marathon"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Heminsley, Alexandra, $d 1976- 650 0 $a Runners (Sports) $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Women runners $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Running $v Anecdotes. 856 $1 9-939-9448 941 $a 14 952 $l DPPE403 $d 20240611014111.0 952 $l ALPE516 $d 20240417012848.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20231012024011.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909031817.0 952 $l CNPC792 $d 20220105011852.0 952 $l BNPD611 $d 20210323024930.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20200110053557.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006074522.0 952 $l MBPE423 $d 20180717034425.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20161004020058.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20160202073746.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20150509014449.0 952 $l GUPF501 $d 20140722012355.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20131107010344.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=76718E28438411E39246D9B8DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
