'If
- you've
- ever
- wept,
- "Why
- Do
- I
- Want
- To
- Run?",
- your
- answer
- is
- here.'
- CAITLIN
- MORANAlexandra
- Heminsley
- had
- high
- hopes:
- the
- arse
- of
- an
- athlete,
- the
- waist
- of
- a
- supermodel,
- the
- speed
- of
- a
- gazelle.
- Defeated
- by
- gyms
- and
- bored
- of
- yoga,
- she
- decided
- to
- run.Her
- first
- attempt
- did
- not
- end
- well.Six
- years
- later,
- she
- has
- run
- five
- marathons
- in
- two
- continents.But,
- as
- her
- dad
- says,
- you
- run
- with
- your
- head
- as
- much
- as
- with
- your
- legs.
- So,
- while
- this
- is
- a
- book
- about
- running,
- it's
- not
- just
- about
- running.You
- could
- say
- it's
- about
- ambition
- (yes,
- getting
- out
- of
- bed
- on
- a
- rainy
- Sunday
- morning
- counts),
- relationships
- (including
- talking
- to
- the
- intimidating
- staff
- in
- the
- trainer
- shop),
- as
- well
- as
- your
- body
- (your
- boobs
- don't
- have
- to
- wobble
- when
- you
- run).
- But
- it's
- also
- about
- realising
- that
- you
- can
- do
- more
- than
- you
- ever
- thought
- possible.Very
- funny,
- very
- honest
- and
- very
- emotional,
- whether
- you're
- in
- serious
- training
- or
- thinking
- about
- running
- for
- the
- bus,
- this
- is
- a
- book
- for
- anyone
- who
- after
- wine
- and
- crisps
- for
- supper
- a
- few
- too
- many
- times
- thinks
- they
- might
- .
- .
- .
- just
- might
- .
- .
- .
- like
- to
- run
- like
- a
- girl.
