Look What Came in the Mail!



My running friend Sheila recently suggested Hanson Marathon Method to me so I took advantage of an Amazon gift card and ordered it. and it came today! I can't wait to start reading it.

I love reading about running.  In fact I just had to start pairing down my collection of running of books.  For the most part, I read on my Kindle but I still have hard copies of a lot of books I read before I had my Kindle.  I finally realized that there was no sense in hanging on to most of them.  I enjoyed reading them but now they just sit on my bookshelf, so I've been trying to pass them along to other running friends.  I am hanging on to a few like Advanced Marathoning that have training plans and other information that I use regularly.

I just finished reading Scott Jurek's book, Eat and Run: My Unlikely Journey to Ultramarathon Greatness, based on a recommendation from my friend, The Happy Runner.  What a great book!Jurek is so inspiring.  While I don't think I could ever go completely vegan like he has, reading about his experiences with nutrition definitely has me thinking more about my diet and how I can improve it.

What other running books should I check out?
