Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Kudos from a contributor
Review: I am delighted to be a contributor to this anthology. While I was reading one of the stories, my husband announced that he was ready for our run - I asked him to wait so I could finish the story! Each story and poem is as beautiful as the book's gorgeous cover, and evokes empathy, tears, or cheers while fueling your running heart with inspiration. The heartfelt writings eloquently express why women run: comfort, joy, challenge, growth, and the fact that sometimes, there is no reason. I experienced moments and feelings of my past and present - and maybe even my future - while reading this book, and will enjoy it for many years to come. ~ CJ Lockman Hall, M.A.

Summary: Great Book. Similar to "Running Forward - Looking Back."
Review: This book will go proudly next to another great running book of a similar type, Running Forward- Looking Back by the author Lynn Seely. I also have the book First Marathons next to that one.

After so many years of searching for and hoping to find good, heart felt running stories that I can relate to, I am delighted to add this book, Women Runners to my top shelf. (Only the best of the best make it there!) Even though the Ms. Lynn T. Seely's book was the first book like this that I found, it is nice to know that others are being published too.

I really enjoyed the diversity of short stories that are found in all three books. After seeing the publishing world dominated by male writers / runners (and though they do a wonderful job of it, they are, after all, not women!) it is gratifying to read more from women that can "tell it like it is" and entertain, teach and motivate and inspire. It would be hard to say which of the three books inspired me the most! But it certainly is nice to have a few to pick from! Anyway, well done - enjoyable book!
