Okay, I'll admit, I used to love to run. No, I didn't. I did run, though, but I never really loved it. Maybe when I was a kid growing up in the mean streets of Brooklyn, which gets a bad rap, and running was much better than standing and getting pounded on. So back then I ran... and ran...I'd love to run again. Now that I'm old and mostly feeble and tottering from my computer to the refrigerator.Okay, that's not entirely true. I've actually dropped almost fifteen pounds in the three weeks since I bought this book. Am I following it exactly? No. But I'm working my way to being a better runner (or faster walker - the old lady that passed me last week was walking, but c'mon - she was FAST!). This book helps.If you want to lose weight (and who doesn't, right?) and think you might like running (and if there really IS a blond in front of you like on the cover!) then get this book.There's a joke there. An old guy was working out in the gym when a beautiful young girl walked in and got on the treadmill. The old guy says to the young trainer "What machine should I use to impress that girl?" The trainer looks at him, then at the girl and says "I'd recommend the ATM in the lobby, sir."Go buy the book.
