Trail Mix: A Non-Runners Guide to Running

After all the years, all those miles logged, and all those footraces completed, the author believes that her past accomplishments still offer little evidence that she is a runner. What Cathy does admit is the one thing she says she's got going for her-she continues to show up at the start. And once you start, what, after all, is one more step. This is the story about the author showing up to run half marathons on all seven continents. Showing up to support both of her daughters to do the same-and becoming the very first mother-daughter team to run half marathons on every continent. Showing up to meet a challenge from one of her sisters that led to these life-changing accomplishments. For Cathy, though, arriving at the finish line merely put her at a new starting line. What's next for this "non-runner"?
