More than 11 million women run regularly, a number that's growing
every year. They tend to be educated and affluent-the perfect
audience for "Sole Sisters."
Half of all runners are women, and they are changing the face of
the sport. It's a social outlet, a healthful way to improve mental
well-being, and an opportunity to form bonds with like-minded
women.
"Sole Sisters: Stories of Women and Running" is a gripping
collection of stories that captures the inspirational heart of the
women's running. Authors Jennifer Lin and Susan Warner have
interviewed women of all ages from all walks of life and all parts
of the country. All of their subjects have one thing in common:
Running has transformed them. There are both heartrending stories
of grief and survival and lighthearted tales of friendship. Among
them are:
* Sisters who competed in a 5K race to honor a sister who survived
breast cancer.
* A 9/11 widow who ran her first marathon to honor the memory of
her husband.
* A 65-year-old woman who overcame obesity and alcoholism to finish
the grueling Ironman triathlon.
* An unknown runner from Norway named Grete Waitz who decided to
run a marathon-and changed the face of the sport.
"Sole Sisters: Stories of Women and Running" is not just for women
who run. It appeals to all women who know what it means to have the
support of others who share their trials and triumphs. "Sole
Sisters: Stories of Women and Running" is sometimes touching,
sometimes funny, and always inspiring.
