Chicken Soup for the Soul released Chicken Soup for the Soul: Runners in July 2010. Included in this book are 101 Inspirational Stories of Energy, Endurance, and Endorphins.
Included in this book are inspirational stories about for those at all levels of running. From deciding to run and beginners all the way to making the plunge and completing triathlons.
My favorite short story in this book is titled ‘Why I Run’ by Cindy Hanna. She starts out her story saying that you either love running or you loathe it. I loathe running.
I found her story inspiring because she spoke about numerous car accidents that had set her back and the obstacles she overcame by running. She first started running to strengthen her core muscles after being hit by a car as a teenager. She went on to a couple of other accidents as a young adult and each time she returned to running.
She even went on to run the LA Marathon and countless others after that. Each new race is dedicated to someone she knows who for one reason or another can not run it themselves.
This is available for purchase online from Amazon.ca for $12.24 or Amazon.com for $10.17.
