This week’s Winning Wednesday book is … Born to Run
by Christopher McDougall
Here’s why he wrote this book …
I started running about 18 years ago while struggling with depression. It was my therapy in many ways. After receiving severe injuries in 2004, I didn’t know if I would ever run again. But thank God! After dozens of surgeries and years of physical therapies, I began running again in 2008.
Why?
All I can say is there is just something about running that works for me – body, mind and spirit.
Recently, I heard Christopher McDougall speak at a local college – he’s a great speaker and writer. Born To Run is a great read – whether or not you’re a runner. I also enjoyed the book for the look into the world of the Tarahumara Indians and their culture. McDougall has a interesting reason as to why we like to run.
All our bodies need exercise to stay healthy – if you don’t use it, you lose it. So even if running doesn’t appeal to you – this book will inspire you to do something for your health.
