Get Your Butt Out the Door: A 365-Day Motivational Runner's Companion

This book came out around the same time I started my running journey, and I wish I had gotten it then. I find Randy’s writing very entertaining. He shares his knowledge while sharing his stories, and I enjoy that. I recommend it.

Randy's book has something for runners at all levels There is practical advice for beginners as well as as motivational thoughts for the lifers. Good read as written for daily motivation or straight through
