Run Like a Girl Book Review & Giveaway

I was recently contacted by the publicist for the book, Run Like a Girl: How Strong Women Make Happy Lives. You can check out the cool book and the related website (HERE).

The book retails for $16.95 and was written by Mina Samuels. I recently read the book on my flights to Florida and during some unusual downtime. It was nice to sit back, relax and read some humorous stories related to running and living an active lifestyle. The book covers dozens and dozens of women (from accomplished athletes and new runners) and their stories about how running and athletics changed their lives forever. I related to many of the stories; some I did not. But, they all gave me some insight into the history of athletics and how women have gained more and more options to choose what they want to do and how they want to live their lives. It really made me appreciate those strong, determined woment that paved the way for the rest of us to participate in athletics, build our confidence and give us the opportunity to set a good example for our children.

I enjoyed relating to stories of running in a running skirt for the first time ... and feeling athletic, strong, feminine and sexy all at the same time. Yes, it's possible! I loved reading about women who didn't enjoy their careers and found athletics and their passion become their outlet and eventually their career or motivated them to tranform other hobbies into a profitable outlet. I was motivated by stories of the young and the old, pushing themselves beyond what they ever thought was possible.

This book made me even more proud to be an athletic woman. Proud that I make happy choices for myself. For my children. And that woman around me have been inspired to do the same.
