The inspiring, hilarious memoir of a Bridget Joneslike writer (The Washington Post) who transforms her life by learning to run, with stories of miserable defeat, complete victory, and learning to choose the right shoes.When Alexandra Heminsley decided to take up running, she had hopes for a blissful runners high and immediate physical transformation. After eating three slices of toast with honey and spending ninety minutes creating the perfect playlist, she hit the streetsand failed spectacularly. The stories of her first runs turn on its head the common notion that we are all born to runand exposes the truth about starting to run: it can be brutal.Running Like a Girl tells the story of getting beyond the brutal part, how Alexandra makes running a part of her life, and reaps the rewards: not just the obvious things, like weight loss, health, and glowing skin; but selfconfidence and immeasurable daily pleasure, along with a new closeness to her fathera marathon runnerand her brother, with whom she ultimately runs her first marathon.But before her first marathon, she has to figure out the logistics of running: the intimidating questions from a young and arrogant sales assistant when she goes to buy her first running shoes, where to get decent bras for the larger bust, how not to freeze or get sunstroke, and what (and when) to eat before a run. Shes figured out whats important (pockets) and what isnt (appearance), and more.For any woman who has ever run, wanted to run, tried to run, or failed to run (even if just around the block), Heminsleys funny, warm, and motivational personal journey from nonathlete extraordinaire to someone who has completed five marathons is inspiring, entertaining, practical, and fun.
