This is another great Chicken Soup for the Soul Book. Like all the other Chicken Soup for the Soul books I have read, this book has inspirational stories from famous runners. I love how you can read the whole book or if time doesn't allow-you can read just a few pages at a time. In this book, you will read many great stories about how these runners got started, everyday adventures, a step at a time, comebacks and fortitude. You will read stories from runners at every level, from beginners to stars,about staying motivated, running with family and friends and even running in exotic locations. This book may even have you thinking about going for a walk or maybe even a run.

I have been walking for my health for the last 12 years. Everyday instead of lunch I walk 2-3 miles. It is quite relaxing to get away from work & see the beauty of the natural world.
Walking is great exercise. It is less stressful on your knees than running, but stil can give you a good workout. It allows you to get back to nature.
Apart from the fitness running is also enjoyable for releasing the stress after a hard day at work.

Running is a great natural "high". It's wonderful being out there pounding the trail with your heart and muscles all working in concert and your mind free to wander. It's like a moving meditation.
Running is therapeutic for me; it helps to clear my head!

My sister is doing a half-marathon in December as a fund-raiser for the disease that almost killed her. I like the fact that something like running can bring a positive aspect to that part of her life.
I love running on the treadmill because I feel so energized after I finish. I love taking walks along the beach or in the mountains to enjoy the beauty and fresh air. vidomich(at)yahoo(dot)com

I just love looking around at nature when I walk/run. You can sneak up on an armadillo...sort of.
