Recently I began listening to a podcast hosted by Des Linden and Kara Goucher. I believe I heard about this book on that show. From the podcast my love for Linden’s voice has grown and reading this book on paper felt like sitting across from her. I loved hearing her story, her running journey, her motivations, and how her grit came to be. Linden is tenacious, funny, and spirited. This book inspires me - in running and in life. I almost wish I could read it for the first time again. Read it if you run and even if you don’t. Maybe, like Linden and me, you will choose to run.
