>Run Like a Mother (the book) Giveaway

>Perhaps you have hear of Dimity McDowell and Sarah Bowen Shea but perhaps you have not. If you have not you should definitely head over to Run Like a Mother (the book)  and check out the great RLAM's. I said before and I will say again that I don't even believe you have to be a runner or even a mom to appreciate their blog or them or the book! Sure the book has lots of inspirational stories about running, but it's inspiring too for those of us that are wives, have jobs and the plus is being a mom (and further a running mom). Even if you are NOT a runner or a running mom, maybe you have given thought to running but just don't know where to get started or how you can juggle your family, job and everything else that goes with that....fear not!!! You can read all about how TO juggle it all or how these two mom's juggled it all while training to run a marathon!

Now, I have no desire to run a full marathon but I DO plan to run my first half marathon this year. Training is hard enough of a task but throw in work, kids, house, etc and it becomes even harder. I could just lay the idea of running a half marathon to the side because of everything else in life going on BUT I won't reach my goals that way. IF you are considering even running a 5k or heck even considering joining a gym but have doubts, PLEASE enter my giveaway to win this book! It is well worth the read (even if you don't win). Not only do these two women give their stories about staying motivated, what clothing to wear, music, nutrition, pregnancy and much  more but there are also little excerpts from other women like us who have gone through the journey as well.

Like I said in my last giveaway of this book, I read it in just a matter of days from the front cover to the back and have began reading through it a second time. I've never done any other book that way. It's been a huge inspiration to me and I believe it would be to you as well.

I bought this book with my own money and wrote this review on my own. I could go on about what it has meant to me and how it has helped me. I could take whole excerpts from this book and post here for you, but I want you to first check out the RLAM blog and check out these two women and the many  more women out there! I want YOU to find inspiration like I did. I want YOU to be encouraged not only in running but in your journey as a mom and wife. :)
