Book Review

I LOVE BOOKS! Here is one I read in three days.

The Longest Race.

Just finished Kara Goucher's book, and although I am not surprised by the information shared- I am still sickened! BUT so so so uplifted by this brave, strong, fast, loving, kind, trustworthy woman. I lined up directly behind this woman at the 2012 Olympic Marathon Trials and watched her celebrate another trip to the Olympics with her baby in arms and cowboy hat on- huge smile. Since I was in the competitive marathon racing world the same time as Kara, she has always been an inspiration to me and still is today. Thank you Kara for speaking out so that the future generation of competitive runners are treated appropriately. What you went through is so traumatizing, but it was not in vain. Thank you to my sister in sport!

P.S. I still have not had the opportunity to run a fast marathon in the fast shoes either- at least I can say my times were all sweat, patience, and discipline!
