Running with a Police Escort Tales from the Back of the Pack Jill Grunenwald 9781510740914 Books Reviews

• I'm a race walker, I walked a half marathon during my goal of doing one race a month (I got burned out after August). It's so nice to read a book by someone who runs about the same pace or slightly faster than you do. Most people classify themselves as a slow runner around 12 minute miles and my goal is to run a sub 15 minute mile. This book was super inspiring and encouraging.
• Jill is truly an inspiration to me. I have my first planned half marathon in April 2017. I have been going back and forth on whether I feel qualified or even ready for a half. After reading Jill's book I am ready to at least give it a try. She is funny, witty, serious, emotional. I couldn't put this book down. I was sorry to see it end. Thank you, Jill.
• Loved the book. I am also a Cleveland girl, so I know the streets and neighborhoods, which made the book fun for me to read. I am also a pack of the pack person, so I appreciate Jill's funny, clever take on life as a slow runner (walker, in my case). Jill has a great "voice". She comes across as honest and earnest. Inspired by Jill, I walked/ran the SNOball 5k this morning and am looking hard at St. Malachi in March. Jill...Hope to see you at the back of the pack some day soon!
• As a runner who is just getting back into racing after cancer and treatment I found Jill's story very inspiring. It was exatly the type of story and advice I needed. Having previously been a front to mid pack runner, finding myself at the back of the pack is hard. But reading this book has made me realise that I don't need to be embarrassed and to be more mindful and set my own goals.
• Jill writes the way I think. Salty, truthful and funny. I am a newbie fat runner, and I so appreciate the fact that I really am not the only one! This book is down-to-earth and real, and a fun read for anyone - fat, skinny, runner or not. I have experienced walking with a police escort (I wasn't even able to RUN!), and thanks to Jill's sunny and sarcastic disposition I don't feel as bad about being last. Thanks, Jill!
• Great book! Really resonates since I've been there!
• I really enjoyed the author's candid approach to writing and telling her story. I felt like I was reading a book from someone that I could be friends with. It was informative about running at the back of the pack while still entertaining.
• I learned so much about myself from reading this book! Actually as soon as I finished the last page I turned back to page 1 and read it again!
