Editorial Review: Product Description: Dawn Dais hated running. And it didn't like her much, either. Her fitness routine consisted of avoiding the stairs in her own house, because who really has the energy to climb stairs? It was with this exercise philosophy firmly in place that she set off to complete a marathon. The Nonrunner’s Marathon Guide for Women is a fun training manual for women who don't believe that running is their biological destiny but who dream of crossing the finish line nonetheless. It opens with a realistic training schedule and is chock-full of how-to's, quizzes, and funny observations, which Dais felt were lacking in the guides she had consulted. The Nonrunner’s Marathon Guide for Women also integrates entries from Dias' journal, sharing everything would-be marathoners need to know about the gear, the blisters, the early morning workouts, the late-night carb binges, and — most important of all — the amazing rewards. Anyone can do a marathon. This book just makes the experience a little more bearable and a lot more fun. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Good read!The book was a fun read. It was refreshing to hear the account of a normal person training for a marathon. The fact that she struggled during the marathon and still shared her tale was refreshing. One criticism: The author recommends the heel-strike foot placement when running which can lead to injury and would explain why her knee gave her so much trouble. Rating:  - great laughThis book is hilarious. The author delightfully writes with sarcasm and cynasism, so even if your intentions are not to run a marathon you can read for amusement! She does provide great guidance and training regimens. Even more valuable is how she relates to the normal person and isn't afraid to voice her opinions. Rating: - great non runner readgreat book! would buy if you never ran or walked or crawled a marathon Rating: - Highly Recommended Fun!I finished this book the day after it arrived. So funny, so inspiring. This author freely admits that she was committed to laziness and yet finished a marathon. (albeit in pain!) This is truly more of a memoir than a training manual, but it should inspire you to get off your butt! Even if you have no intention of ever running a marathon, this book will convince you to set a goal and accomplish something that seems impossible. A truly enjoyable read. Rating: - Must-Have for Any New RunnerDawn Dais is hilarious! Get this book if you are even considering taking up running or starting a training routine for any length of race. It is more of a light read than a manual, but at the same time I find myself referring back to specific things in the book.
