"Was running a marathon with my wife a smart idea? Certainly not. We had two kids under the age of three and demanding jobs in tech. However, being smart was not my main concern. In our 4-year marriage, she'd been a rock. She nursed me through leukemia. She picked me up from rehab and drove me to AA. Now, she wanted to run the Disney Marathon. So be it. I signed up like two sports bras, extra supportive!" Looks Like We're Running is a humorous story about failing badly and getting better. Can running save a person's life? Can it improve a marriage? Overcome an addiction? Each year, nearly 16 million Americans attempt a marathon. Nearly every one of them is just a regular person fighting to discover a better version of themself. Looks Like We're Running is for that person. It was written by that person. This book contains guidance on training, gear, nutrition and recovery, but most importantly, it is a testimony of the marathon's number one lesson: How to keep going.Dustin Riedesel first attempted running three months after completing chemotherapy for leukemia. He started running seriously eight months later while in a rehab facility for alcohol abuse. Since running began, he lost weight, improved his marriage and friendships, earned freedom from addiction, had two children, bought a new home, received a promotion at work, and finally, wrote this book to serve as a companion for anyone seeking similar outcomes in their life.Can moving your body for extended periods of time really give you all that? There's one sure-fire way to find out. Put on some shoes. Get out the door. Looks like you're running.

Ross Burns' second book, Long Road to Boston, takes us on his personal and heartfelt journey to fulfill a long-held dream to one day run the Boston Marathon. After delving briefly into his early childhood years growing up on the northern beaches of Sydney and working for over thirty years as a lawyer in Canberra, much of the book spans Ross' life between 2008 and 2017. In 2008, he 'retires' to live the 'good life' in the pristine South Gippsland seaside town of Venus Bay, becomes a reluctant 'chef' in a seafood café, then 'accidentally' re-locates to Perth as a senior commercial lawyer in a Perth law firm before, eventually, moving to beautiful Margaret River and undergoing yet another personal 'reinvention'. This time, working as a FIFO contractor on remote mine and rail construction sites in the spectacular Pilbara desert region of Western Australia.Interspersed with humour and personal drama, Long Road to Boston is the story of an everyday man, his deep love of running, his quest, in his own small way, to help repair the trauma of the shocking Boston Marathon terrorist bombings in 2013, and 'run Boston'.

"How do you breathe when the waves are so rough and the water crashes in your face? How do you breathe when big wave after big wave hits?"A rebellious teenager, Natalie Lehto is pretty much a good-time party girl, until the day she discovers she's able to run twelve minutes at a stretch. From that intoxicating first achievement, Natalie goes on to become an endurance athlete, running marathons and finishing strong at wildly challenging events like Hawaii's XTERRA triathlon. In 2013, Natalie's got it all: two little girls, a great husband, a wide-ranging friend-group, her own fitness studio, and a loving and supportive extended family. And she's about to top it all off by fulfilling a long-held dream, running the legendary Boston Marathon. But shortly after Natalie joyfully crosses the finish line with her whole family cheering her on, the horror of the marathon bombing decimates the experience. In the years to come, she will grapple with debilitating PTSD, as well as health issues, family tragedy, and loss, but through these challenges, she begins to develop a philosophy of life that keeps her motivated and determined to finish strong through whatever life throws at her. Recounted in an enormously relatable, frequently hilarious voice that nonetheless movingly conveys the oceans of fear and sorrow Natalie's had to navigate, Like the Glide of a Dragonfly will entertain readers and inspire them in equal measure.
