Choosing to Run: A Memoir by Des Linden

5.0

Thank you NetGalley for giving me a chance to read this book!

I loved this! Some books are targeted for specific audiences, and this may be one of those that you won't enjoy as much if you haven't ever run. I think anyone can benefit from it whether they are a runner or not, but runners will find it exceptionally enjoyable!

5 stars from me and I will be purchasing my own copy for the personal shelves. I have been a runner for almost a decade now and this story felt so inspirational and motivating, I am ready to lace up my shoes and hit the roads. I learned things about Des I didn't know before, details to her health and training and I appreciate her willingness to be open and transparent with her readers/fans.

I honestly cried at the end when she crossed the finish line in Boston! I thought the chapters were setup nicely jumping back and forth between the Boston race and her past stories. I would definitely recommend to anyone who enjoys sports, running in particular.
