It explains ways that running has helped others strive and be successful in healing, whether it is physically or mentally. I found myself laughing, crying and thinking, "Hmm... I need to do this!" It's empow¬ering and makes you want to RUN like there is no tomorrow. The best part is it makes you want to create a bond with strangers, who become family. Read the book, and you, too, will want to heal by running." -- Kim Turner,Aircraft mechanic III-gen-mods
