One of my friends talked me into running a half-marathon
with her in January 2015. The thing is, I’m not a runner. In fact, I’m a couch
potato. Thankfully, I stumbled across Running Like a Girl: Notes on Learning to Run by Alexandra Heminsley. At the beginning of the book, Heminsley is like me:
she’s not interested in running, and then decides that maybe it’s something she
can start doing.
Running Like a Girl is the perfect book for novice runners,
because it starts with the basics: from buying gear to getting past the brutal
beginnings. It’s also very funny. Heminsley shares stories of running mishaps,
the details of running, and her experiences she has along the way. This book
has all the tips I need to start running. Heminsley has inspired me to give running
a try. Maybe someday running will become a release and not a chore.
