In our youth obsessed society, Lawrence W. Gold invites us to take a look at an accomplished 60 year-old woman who undertakes one of the biggest challenges in her life. Once again we are taken behind the scenes of Brier Hospital where the drama and trauma is as palpable as on the patients’ floors. For Izzy,her hard training and success as a runner becomes an uphill battle as she becomes the victim of a smear campaign that questions not only whether she has cheated, but her very integrity. With her heart set on running the Boston Marathon, one year after the hideous bombing, her brutal training, and the pressures of public scrutiny make her even more determined to run. Will she be ready? As the public weighs in either for or against her, Izzy discovers that it’s never too late to follow your dreams.
Lawrence W. Gold blends his knowledge of the medical world with the mystery and intrigue of the competitive world of racing, training and reaching for that one moment of fame and personal accomplishment. He writes with a dry tone that allows the reader to add their own emotion and tension as each page flies past. I enjoy a good mystery, love medically related books and Lawrence W. Gold gave me both in one fabulous read.

It is refreshing to read a book about a 60 year old woman, Dr. Isabel 'Izzy' Kramer. Izzy’s journey begins at the Bay to the Breakers race. In preparation for this race with her daughter she rediscovers her passion for running. And so her training begins in preparation for the Boston Marathon.
Challenges along the way force her to examine herself as well. She is determined to excel but not at all costs. Izzy has integrity and is a shining example of all that is good.
Dr. Gold has written a wonderful story. The chapters are short and the book reads quickly.
The title is perfect—Never too Late.

“If you want to run, run a mile. If you want to experience a different life, run a marathon.” - Emil Zatopek
Lawrence W. Gold, MD is a physician/author who takes risks with his books: his previous ‘BRIER HOSPITAL’ books - FIRST, DO NO HARM, NO CURE FOR MURDER, THE SIXTH SENSE, TORTURED MEMORY, THE PLAGUE WITHIN, TRAPPED, HYBRID, STATE OF MIND, VECTOR RED, OUT OF DARKNESS – and FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, RAGE, A SIMPLE CURE, DEADLY PASSAGE - are stories that revealed some rather grim aspects of the medical profession. (For those who follow Dr. Gold's literary output then the mention of his warmly humorous book I LOVE MY DOCTOR, BUT...must be included as a sidebar). Gold has retired from medicine (he was a Nephrologist, having served as a Battalion Surgeon in Vietnam at the same time as this reviewer) and it is understandable that he wishes to uses his patently obvious skills as a writer as his post-medical career. One wonders why he continues to use the MD after his name in this successful second career, but perhaps the intent is to add validity to his writing.
This novel is an exploration of physical injuries and the medical responsibility to not desert patients for whom life means winning athletic competitions and substantiating psychological wholeness: ‘Isabel Kramer’s dream of running competitively, frustrated since age seventeen, reveals itself when, on a lark, she joins her daughter in the Bay to Breakers race in San Francisco. Now age sixty, Izzy challenges her misgivings, the sage and well-intentioned advice of family and friends, and prepares for long-distance running. Izzy, a psychiatrist and professor of psychology at UC Berkeley has no illusions about the likelihood of success and the possibility of injury, but amazingly, she outperforms the running world’s and her own expectations and trains for the Boston Marathon.Barriers of every type obstruct Izzy’s path to Boston. Can they stop her? Supporters of every age see in her the will and the talent to win, and they joyfully join her in the realization of a destiny too long delayed.’
Lawrence W. Gold, MD has written some fine medico-centric novels that have brought him a degree of fame in the literary world. His role as a novelist is matched only by his continuing concern for medicine as it is practiced today and how very much more humanistic it needs to become if we are to maintain the dignity of physicians and the sanctity of human life.

A great runners story
Having 2 children who ran track in HS and college. I could relate to do many of the storyline in this book.
It shows how if you are good at something like running people assume that you are taking something to perform so well. I'm glad Izzy never have up.on.her dream

Never Too Late
I enjoyed this story. Imagine a 61 yr old woman running marathons, it humbled me that at 48 yrs I can barely walk a mile let alone run 26, but it also has motivated me. It was nice to check back in with familiar characters at Brier Hospital as usual.

Before I start, I’m going to open with a full disclosure that I am a marathon runner. I connected with this story because of that. I’m by no means an elite runner, not anywhere near on the level of Izzy Kramer, but I could relate to the grueling training it takes and the long hours on the road you need to have in order to make it the 26.2 without injury.
With that out of the way, this book was absolutely well written, well paced, and pulled you in. William Gold is able to capture the competitive spirit that lies within every human being perfectly. I’m talking competitive with yourself, not necessarily with other people.
The mindset of Isabel Kramer is pretty much like any long distance runner. They train and run almost to the point of being obsessive about it and throw all good advice aside. Especially those new to the long distance running. With Izzy being 60 years old, it was of much more importance to follow a plan.
A little bit of personal competition was thrown in by way of a young woman named Hunter, who is entitled, a brat, and always gets what she wants. The nice thing, is this wasn’t played so completely over the top. It was believable, and I enjoyed watch that character go through a bit of an evolution during the book. It made for a fantastic and competitive dynamic within the story. Their training coach Mitch, try as he might to keep everything in line, has a difficult time with the two of them.
Everything from lactate threshold testing, carb loading, shin splints, and even steroids and the ADA were put into this book, and each one threw a different type of barrier in her way to the Boston Marathon and added to the suspense.
What intrigued me most was the VR Training. I had to ask if this was a real thing or if it’s something that was added for the book, and as it turns out, it’s very real. While the results are still not really conclusive, and it’s difficult to find on the google machine, elite runners sometimes use this. I’m not sure why or what benefits are caused with it, but it’ll be interesting to see what happens in the future.
As the book builds to Boston and the training picks up, fears arise that Izzy just isn’t able to handle the training and injuries try to sideline her from the race. It all culminates into a great ending that goes right to the heart of runners and competitors alike and he couldn’t have done a better job of painting that picture.
The Bottom Line: It never ceases to amaze me that he’s not been picked up by a traditional publisher yet. His stories are intriguing rooted in fact, and make you think outside the box. This book is no exception. Izzy, Hunter, Mitch and even Ross and her family are all worth your time as we get a little peak into elite marathon training wrapped up in a taught thriller.

Never Too Late is a novel by Lawrence W. Gold, MD. It is an interesting novel about runners and training for the Boston Marathon one year after the bombing. It would probably be much more interesting for those who are interested in running. Several times I found myself thinking I would put the book down; but I continued. Eventually, I got engrossed in the story and could not put it down. As far as I can tell, the information about runners and running is correct.
Isabel “Izzy” Kramer is a psychiatrist and a professor. She is married to Ross Cohen, a psychiatrist. She has plenty to keep her busy or as busy as a 60 year old woman wants. She decides to join her daughter, Jennifer, in running The Bay to the Breakers race. Izzy used to run in high school and college; but eventually gave it up. As she ran in preparation for the Bay to Breakers, she found herself liking it more and more. She and Jennifer ran the first race and Izzy became the icon of the senior group. How had she run the race that well? After this race, she joined a running club but decided a personal trainer would be better. She wanted to run in the Boston Marathon.
Mitch Silverman is a 58 year old runner. He is an internationally renowned trainer. He is also the only one in a string of trainers who was remotely interested in helping an older woman. He has high standard of ethics and running beliefs that he holds in high regard and expected his clients to match or exceed those standards. He agrees to help Izzy and he is also helping Hunter Blake who is 24 and is one of the “Hillsborough Blakes”. She is expected to do extremely well by her father, by whatever means possible. When she tries to use her “society” status to impress Mitch, he rapidly puts her in her place. He will help her; but she will have to do all the work.
Izzy, Hunter, and Mitch form a threesome to run and to practice for marathons. Mitch gives them their program and they are expected to follow it exactly. The longer they run, the more the animosity between Mitch and Izzy and Hunter grows and then begins to lessen.
Things are working themselves along when Izzy is charged with taking drugs. They must prove this wrong before the board before they will be accepted at Boston. It takes a toll on her life and her marriage as they desperately try to find something that will prove that she did not take drugs. Is her life coming to an end? Will she ever be able to run in the Boston Marathon and other marathons?

It is NEVER too late to realize your dream as this novel illustrates. Of course training for and running the Boston Marathon is no easy walk in the park as Isabel Kramer, a 60 year old psychiatrist, finds out. She had wanted to be a runner back when she was 17 but as often happened back then her Mom put a stop to it-even though her then high school coach tried to explain just how good Izzy was. At any rate when her daughter convinced her to run a marathon for fun (with her daughter)-she again realized how much she missed running. She had to prove herself to the coach she chose who thought she was too old for the rigors of the training or to run! Well, she dared him--and guess who won!
Her young training mate was a rich spoiled brat who Izzy was able to see through. This girl's story is typical and luckily was able to over come her upbringing to become a worthy human being. What she does at the end of the Boston Marathon will bring tears of happiness to your eyes. Sabotage abounded throughout--once again I read this book from front to cover in one sitting. Lawrence Gold can truly write a book to keep your interest. He is definitely one of my favorite authors and I don't think I have missed any of his books yet (well one-but that is on my Kindle ready to be read!)

Given To Me For An Honest Review
Never Too Late by Larence Gold is a good book for all of those who are unsure if what they have always wanted to do is still within reach. The story is about Dr. Isabel Kramer who is 60 years old. She has always wanted to run in marathons but because of so many different reasons was never allowed. When she turns 60 she decides she is going to run the Boston Marathon. She begins to train. She finds that training is no easy task. But she keeps on going. Never giving up, determined to be ready for the marathon. The day finally comes and she is ready to run. Now, does she win or does she lose? It really doesn't matter because she has already won by just following a dream that she has always had. I recommend this book to all. I also look forward to more from Larence Gold.

Overview: Izzy always wanted to be a runner. She let it go during her college years, to have peace in the family, but now that she is in her sixties, a chance to race with her daughter--the Bay to Breakers--kindles her dreams to run the Boston Marathon.
Likes: This stand-alone side story to the “Brier Hospital” series was told in such a way as to not require that you are up-to-date on the series before you can enjoy this one. Also, it really does mean to give you encouragement to follow your dreams.
Dislikes: I couldn’t stand Cedric Blake during this book. Unfortunately, I couldn’t back Izzy either, her attitude got to me. Just a personality clash, I suppose.
Conclusion: It’s a well written book. I hope you find more enjoyment out of it than I did.

Amazing grace!
This book is an inspiration to us all. It's about hard work, dedication, and grit that surpasses all other.
Mostly, though, it is about grace. Grace is defined as an undeserved kindness. To Izzy, grace is innate; it is as natural to her as the air she breathes. For her, it is an autonomic, unconscious response. That she inspires it in those around her, those who are LEAST likely to be affected, is phenomenal.
I truly believe the world would be a better place if more of us lived our lives with even a fraction of Izzy's humanity. I also believe that the human body is capable of amazing feats, outliers, if you will.
Thank you for this wonderful book, for it touched me deeply.

Dr. Isabel Kramer, "Call me Izzy", a 60-year old psychiatrist runs a local race with her daughter and remembers how much she enjoyed running. She has to work through a lot of obstacles to achieve her goals and it almost looks it will be too late for her dream of running in the Boston Marathon.
Her triumphs and tribulations make for an interesting read but sometimes I struggled with some of the characterizations which is why I gave it four stars. Dr. Gold shines best when writing about the running portions of the book. I'm not a runner but after reading the story I can appreciate why someone can get hooked.

Excellent
Great story. Loved the characters and the whole book. Too many times people get caught up in the win at all costs syndrome. And a lot of people will do anything to win. In this story, it's not about winning or losing, it's about keeping your mind set on the sport and how you handle the pressure. The author did an excellent job, not only on the story, but on the main characters motivation in her struggle to come to terms with her reasons for running. Love it.

Fantastic
This super interesting book highlighted so many human frailties. The real beauty of the story was about understanding, love and acceptance. The "senior" aspect was extremely impactful and explored the many opportunities that "we older folk" face. A truly delightful reading experience.
