Book Reviews of The Nonrunner's Marathon Guide for Women: Get Off Your Butt and On with Your Training
Book Review: if you read it, you will run.
Summary: 5 Stars
i can't remember the last time i laughed this hard while reading a book. better yet, i am living proof that this book actually works. the author goes with an "I'm the lowest common denominator" approach to make you feel better about your ability to run (or hobble/crawl/etc.) to the finish line. even after she had made me a regular runner i'd go back for reminders about the good ole (couch potato) days. finally, a book to get you into shape without boring you to tears doing it. Book Review: I loved the book!
Summary: 5 Stars
Let's face it, I am not a runner either. As I get older I find that there are many people in my life that have a goal to finish a marathon. It is not my goal, but I would love to be inspired to at least try. I read this book in one sitting! I couldn't believe it. I sat down and started reading and couldn't put it down. It was hysterical. It brought up points about running and preparation that I never thought of. I really liked how the author mentioned that it doesn't matter what you look like when you run or how fast or slow you run, it is a personal attempt at completing a marathon...or completing anything else in life. I think that the subject was discussed excellent and I really feel that the information can be used in many other parts of life. I still don't know if I have the undying desire to run a marathon, but I enjoyed the book!!Book Review: Even if you never run, read this book, it's very funny and entertaining
Summary: 5 Stars
I read this book based on a friend's endorsement. Why I would want to read a book about running for women was beyond me, but it is very funny and well-written. Dawn has a biting wit and amazing self-effacing sense of humor that you can relate to (who REALLY WANTS to get up at 5 AM to train, especially in today's comfort zone of TIVO). If you are looking for motivation or a different perspective, buy this book. Even if you never wind up running, your stomach muscles will get the best workout they've gotten in years from all of the giggling. Book Review: Great Book!
Summary: 5 Stars
The only thing less interesting than running is talking about running, but Dais has somehow made this hilarious!! I read the whole book in a weekend and ended up feeling very motivated! And many of the funny things she said come up throughout the day and are funny all over again...
