Nice book of short musings/stories on running. An easy listen with some poignant tales. (

I have read other Chicken Soup books prior to reading this one--and I found I liked those better than this one. I think this might have been the first or one of the first in the series. I didn't find as many personal accounts or stories in this volume as I have in other volumes. I liked the "Overcoming Obstacles" section of the book best. (

The Chicken Soup books are some of my favourites. They contain short stories that will tug at your heart strings. Love them. To be honest I don't know if I've read all the stories, I usually just flip through and read a couple at a time. (
