If You Give a Mom a Marathon - Six Kids and a Run Around the World

by Michelle Walker

If you give a mom a marathon, she'll hit a wall. It happens to all marathoners, not just mothers. Still a new runner when that first happened in 2007, Michelle has now run more than 140 additional 26.2-mile races. But for Michelle, those races mean much more than a collection of medals and a spreadsheet of race times. All those races and training times have helped her become a better, more confident person, friend, and - most importantly - mother. Come along with Michelle as she explains how running races in Australia, Iceland, and even the deck of a cruise ship has helped fuel her on her family's journey.

I'm not an objective reviewer to be honest. This is a friend of mine's book. It chronicles her travels both domestically and internationally as well as her experiences running 100+ marathons, a few Ironmans, and--oh yeah, raising 6 children.

This was a great and extremely informative book written by someone that I have crossed paths with several times over the years. It was interesting to read about the same race or adventure from a different perspective.
She is one amazing mother, wife, marathoner and writer.
