Summary
The new hilarious and inspirational memoir from Sunday Times number one best-selling author Bryony Gordon.
Bryony Gordon was not a runner. A loafer, a dawdler, a drinker, a smoker, yes. A runner, no. Yet somehow, as she began to recover from the emotional roller coaster of laying her life bare in her mental health memoir Mad Girl, she started to realise that getting outside, moving her body and talking to others for whom life was also an occasional challenge might actually help her.
Going for a run might not banish her sadness, but at least it might show it that she was damn well trying to beat it, which is sometimes half the battle. As she began to run farther, she started to see the limitations she had imposed on her life more clearly. Why couldn't she be a runner? Or a bungee jumper? Or a deep sea diver? Maybe rather than sitting on the sofa watching the world go by, fulfilling your dreams was just about standing up and taking that first step. Maybe you can do it, too.
In April 2017, less than a year after she had weighed herself at over 16 stone but stepped off the scales and started training anyway, Bryony Gordon ran all 26 and 3/4 miles of the London Marathon. Here, in her new typically funny and hugely inspiring memoir, she shows us how extraordinary things can happen to us all, no matter what life throws at us, if we're just willing to keep going.

gave me shivers
Wow, what a brilliant story and message from Bryony. Feeling so inspired for a half marathon I have planed soon and may even go for a full next year. If Bryony can, I sure can too. I actually got shivers down my spine at the part when she's finishes, and had a big smile on my face too. You are amazing Bryony! A lovely, uplifting listen especially if you struggle with mental health.

Really enjoyed this audible book
I didn't want this book to end.
I ran my first marathon in January 2008 20 months after my Dad died and less than 30days after my step Dad died.
It was just something I did, I've now realised the importance of that time on my own mental health.
I too am not a typical runner and could totally relate to this book. Brilliant, dare I say it's given the bug to have another go!
