From Sofa To Sprinter: Running For Health, Happiness, and Success

Book excerpt: This is a short book about running. It's not a guide to weight loss and it's not a week-by-week marathon-training guide. In fact, you might be looking at this book even if you don't run or engage in any physical activity at all. Perhaps it may inspire you into action.
