You'll instantly be hooked as the author recounts his unforgettable experience on that tragic day at the Boston marathon in 2013. It's obvious that this veteran runner knows his stuff, and he's kind enough to share his knowledge (from watches to shoes to rest days to training programs, etc) with readers who are still hoping their best running days are ahead of them. Nestled in the middle of this helpful book are the stories of a few very inspirational (and animated!) runners who make you realize you CAN and should incorporate running into your busy life. Even if you've never run a step outside of middle school gym class, but you have always felt you wanted to get in the runner circle, this book will give you direction and supply some contacts (if you desire) to reach out for even more one on one advice.Show Less View on Amazon.com Add a comment View this book's reviews on Amazon.com
3.	Mark Will-Weber reviewed Personal Best Mark Will-Weber, author of "The Quotable Runner" and "Run for the Diamonds" December 3, 2014 I really enjoy Muldowney's writing on running, because he really speaks to the "Old School" runner and somehow manages to convey to new runners this important aspect of our sport: Why Running Matters.

8.	Lindsay Richards reviewed Running Shorts: A Collection Of Stories And Advice For Anyone Who Has Ever Laced Up A Pair... Relatable and inspiring!

Joe Muldowney paints a picture in your mind of his finest (and funniest) stories of the road that will have you quite literally laughing out loud, then retelling them to your loved ones because you just can't keep these stories to yourself (nor can you make this stuff up!). His tone is positive and uplifting, so if you're debating whether or not you should head out for that run, pick up this book, read a chapter, and my best bet is you'll have a few miles in before your head hits the pillow that night. He also highlights experiences from local races as well as large, well known races, that may entice you to put them on your racing calendar, or will make you feel nostalgic because perhaps you once ran that race. As a decorated veteran runner, he provides nuggets of advice that we all can utilize regarding rest, injury, etc. As you read, you will feel like this quick witted author is your running companion (although sometimes you'll feel grateful you weren't on that specific run!), through stories of being hassled on the road, hearing "run forrest run" for the 1000th time, and even more. You will exclaim to yourself "exactly!" as you recognize how relatable this book is to us as a rare/unique breed-runners.Show Less View on Amazon.com Add a comment View this book's reviews on Amazon.com
