Having read the author's first book, "We Got Outta Debt" and thoroughly enjoying it, I decided I simply have to get my hands on anything JP Foley publishes from then on. And this publication certainly didn't disappoint.The author takes you through a personal journey of how he got that all too famous "Wow" moment where he simply came to a point where he realized it's now or never but I have to do something or else...Joe had his moment during either a race against his daughter back home or a more convincing report of what really happened, chasing the ice cream truck. He had a runaway train moment which wasn't that he couldn't stop running, but rather stopping because he was the runaway train's sound scared him and he was afraid of being run over.The runaway train sound turned out to be his own breathing sound he was hearing and not that of an approaching runaway train.The author takes you through the steps how he started, first running around the block, run, walk then finish with a run. JP goes through his preparation for his first marathon and after that tells the tale of how he ran his first real "event" as he called it.What I appreciated and valued most of this book is the fact that the author didn't just stop at his own personal experiences. He uses a couple of examples from other expert and well-known people too and then he goes even further and gives you much valued tips and advice of even your running gear you'll need.I am a quick racket sportsman and prefer my way around a badminton- or squash court as opposed to a road with a thin layer of rubber between my foot sole and tar roads. But one thing I do know is that even I felt like getting up, putting on some running shoes and go for a 5-mile run just for the heck of it.Inspiring read, well formatted and most definitely worth the download.
