Run Like A Girl: How Strong Women Make Happy Lives - Mina Samuels (2011)
This is an inspiring book about the positive power of exercise and sports on women. The author, who is a triathlete, marathon runner, biker, cross country skier, rock climber, kayaker and yoga enthusiast, incorporates stories from women of all ages who have had their lives changed due to sports. As a person who despises running and always hated gym class, I had serious doubts about this book. However, as a mother of three young girls, I wanted to give the book a chance. I think all women, athletes and non-athletes alike, will like this girl power book. (AO)
