It's a social outlet, a healthful way to improve mental well-being, and an opportunity to form bonds with like-minded women.<P>Sole Sisters: Stories of Women and Running is a gripping collection of stories that captures the inspirational heart of the women's running boom. 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:<P> <P>" Sisters who competed in a 5K race to honor a sister who survived breast cancer. <P>" A 9/11 widow who ran her first marathon to honor the memory of her husband. <P>" A 65-year-old woman who overcame obesity and alcoholism to finish the grueling Ironman triathlon. <P>" An unknown runner from Norway named Grete Waitz who decided to run a marathon-and changed the face of the sport.<P>Sole Sisters 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. Sometimes touching, sometimes funny, and always inspiring, Sole Sisters has the makings of a runaway hit.<P> 352336 1 3 2006 Sole Sisters: Stories of Women and Running total:35|5:9|4:9|3:14|2:3| 35 129 58 7 2 0 false false Wed Apr 02 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sat Jan 19 23:07:54 -0800 2008 Thu Apr 03 18:48:03 -0700 2008 more...]]> 3 0 false false Thu Jan 31 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Fri Dec 28 14:49:08 -0800 2007 Fri Feb 01 08:35:54 -0800 2008 more...]]> 3 0 false false Mon Mar 17 12:07:23 -0700 2008 Mon Mar 17 12:09:03 -0700 2008 good read...

It was a good short read. Runners, and even non-runners would find it encouraging and inspiring. Sometimes it's really good to be a woman.]]> 3 0 false false Wed May 14 15:24:15 -0700 2008 Tue Feb 12 10:29:41 -0800 2008 Wed May 14 15:24:15 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Mon Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Tue Aug 07 15:20:01 -0700 2007 Tue Aug 07 15:20:14 -0700 2007 0 0 false false Thu Nov 12 22:50:37 -0800 2009 Thu Nov 12 22:50:37 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Tue Sep 15 15:25:15 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 15 15:25:26 -0700 2009 2 0 false false Mon Sep 14 21:35:33 -0700 2009 Mon Sep 14 11:46:39 -0700 2009 Mon Sep 14 21:35:33 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Sat Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 01 13:33:39 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 01 13:34:03 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Sun Jun 14 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Jun 14 22:14:27 -0700 2009 Sun Jun 14 22:14:35 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Jun 14 13:44:44 -0700 2009 Sun Jun 14 13:44:44 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Sat Jul 04 14:27:33 -0700 2009 Mon Jun 01 14:56:42 -0700 2009 Sat Jul 04 14:27:33 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Sun May 24 12:23:19 -0700 2009 Sun May 24 12:23:19 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri May 08 06:31:32 -0700 2009 Fri May 08 06:31:32 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Mon Apr 27 13:08:00 -0700 2009 Mon Apr 27 13:08:00 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Wed Apr 15 23:18:19 -0700 2009 Wed Apr 15 23:18:19 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Mar 11 20:45:36 -0700 2009 Wed Mar 11 20:45:36 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Wed Feb 25 12:03:26 -0800 2009 Sun Feb 15 07:22:24 -0800 2009 Wed Feb 25 12:03:26 -0800 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=362241
