"I'm training to run my first 5K in October and before every session I would read a story or three. This anthology was great! It made me feel like I could do it too. I loved each story and even cried after a few. This truly is chicken soup for the soul."

" A lovely collection of stories to keep you inspired. In my humble opinion, Chicken Soup for the Soul books are much better in audio. The stories come to life & motivate that much more. "

" I love reading about running, but I couldn't get into this one. "
— Tori, 1/2/2012 -
" This had only a few stories that bored me. I was pretty inspired and frankly it was hard to sit and read this book...made me want to go out and run! "
— Katherine, 12/30/2011 -
" Stories that inspired me to finish my marathon! "
— Myra, 11/5/2010 -
" Some inspiring, some trivial. I suppose it takes all sorts but some of these people's stories are a bit too gushy. "
— Feldspar, 10/23/2010 -
" Overall, I liked this book. It's really refreshing to read a running book focused more on experiences and triumphs than advice and training plans. I just hope it helps me with the mental wall I'm trying to push through! "
— Jenny, 10/2/2010
