_____________________________ 'If you've ever wept, "Why Do I Want
To Run?", your answer is here.' CAITLIN MORAN Alexandra 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.
