Historia5 out of 5 stars 369
Lauren Fleshman has grown up in the world of running. One of the most decorated collegiate athletes of all time and a national champion as a pro, she was a major face of women’s running for Nike before leaving to shake up the industry with feminist running brand Oiselle and now coaches elite young female runners. Every step of the way, she has seen the way that our sports systems—originally designed by men, for men and boys—fail young women and girls as much as empower them. Written with heart and verve, Good for a Girl is a joyful love letter to the running life.

For more than a decade, Katie Arnold chased adventure around the world, reporting on extreme athletes who performed outlandish feats - walking high lines 1,000 feet off the ground without a harness, or running 100 miles through the night. She wrote her stories by living them, until eventually life on the thin edge of risk began to seem normal. After she married, Katie and her husband vowed to raise their daughters to be adventurous, too, in the mountains and canyons of New Mexico. But when her father died of cancer, she was forced to confront her own mortality.

Katie's journey is inspiring and honest and heartfelt. This is a must-read for any busy mother/runner trying to juggle the complexities of raising children while trying to use running to keep yourself sane and thriving.

On the morning of December 22, 2005, New York City firefighter Matt Long was cycling to work when he was struck by and sucked under a 20-ton bus making an illegal turn. The injuries he sustained pushed him within inches of death. Miraculously, after five months in the hospital and more than 40 operations, Matt was able to start his recovery. This book chronicles Matt's road to recovery as he teaches himself to walk again and, a mere three years later, to run in the 2008 New York City Marathon.

Alexandra had high hopes: the arse of an athlete, the waist of a supermodel, the speed of a gazelle. Defeated by gyms and bored of yoga, she decided to run. Her first attempt did not end well. Six years later, she has run five marathons in two continents. But, as her dad says, you run with your head as much as with your legs.

Highly Recommended.
Revisado: 02-06-12
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes, I would highly recommend this book. The story itself is great and the narrator is easy to listen to.

Charlie Bucket of course. He is the hero but remains humble and kind and caring.
What does Eric Idle bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
The different voices of the different characters really brings the story to life. The accent helps make the phrases and names sound proper.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
The description of the smells and tastes of the chocolate that Charlie experienced when he was so hungry and his family starving.
