If you've ever had a fleeting desire to learn how to run, this book is for you. If you've ever contemplated running in a ten-kilometre race but opted out because it seemed too daunting, this book is for you. If running a marathon or doing a triathlon ever crossed your mind but you shoved it out, thinking, "No, not me," then this book is for you. Or if you just want to lose weight and get healthy, there is motivation for you in these pages. Follow my inspirational journey from being a fat, middle-aged suburbanite to running races and competing in triathlons. If I can do it, you can do it.
