Klappentext

The inspirational, bittersweet story of Tamsin Imber's journey as a runner. Starting out as a busy mom, she secretly trains for a marathon--and ends up completing nine in a year, running joyfully in the rainy North York Moors with a group of like-minded lunatics. But talented Tamsin's London Marathon attempt is thwarted by a mysterious fatigue. Running My Way explores the empowering sense of freedom and achievement that running can bring into the chaotic, stressful life of a typically selfless mom. Mocked by an old friend, Tamsin sets off on a bumpy road that leads to a rewarding new social life and countless hilarious adventures. Trophy-winning runs attract the attention of a coach who helps her toward qualification for a championship place in the London Marathon. Ultimately, an appreciation of running free with wild abandon--whether in glorious countryside or in competition--is sharpened by Tamsin's diagnosis with debilitating CFS/ME. Now her positivity and sense of humor are sure to inspire others to take up the sport.
