Amazing to read about running from a woman's point of view. It was so good, I tried to read it slowly so it wouldn't end so quickly, but it was so good, I sped right through it! Highly, highly recommended. This is a great little book for the woman runner (or men too really, I don't think you "have" to be a woman to appreciate it, but much of the humor is intertwined with dating and being a woman in sport among mostly men). I am SO not a fan of sarcastic humor usually, but I ended up really liking Rachel Toor, a lot ... you must, as you spend a lot of time in her head. This book is comprised of a series of essays having to do with running, in all its glory, therapy, heartache and pain. I whipped through this book, the essay length being just perfect to read a few before bed. Also, I found the writing surprisingly inspiring. I've been a casual runner most of my life, never really felt I had any particular talent, that is for sure, just for the joy of it ~ but this book made me consider other options, different kinds of goals and basically, surrounding myself in people who love to do what I do. There is no question you have to be a runner to enjoy this one, but it also make you WANT to run. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension
Rachel Toor was a bookish egghead who ran only to catch a bus. How such an unlikely athlete became a runner of ultramarathons is the story of Personal Record, an exhilarating meditation on the making, and the minutiae, of a runner's life. The food, the clothes, the races, the injuries, the watch (and Toor loves her watch) are all essential to the runner, as readers discover here, and discover why.
