Great book that will inspire me to run strongly!
I read this really quickly as I found it well written, engaging and successful. I've been running for about 4 years, having started at 40. I liked the way the author approached the race using a cross-section of the race's diversity to include anyrunner types but added suspense telling the stories behind head-to-head matchups of the top runners and chair athletes. By the final chapters, I couldn't put it down!

Virtually running the New York City Marathon
The author provided a very lively description on the New York City Marathon, not only details of the route but also the communities and the spectators/supporters along the route. Besides, Liz also built in few stories in within the book, including the stories of elite runners, runners trying to achieve new life through this marathon and some characters who contributed in their own ways to the Marathon. This made the book very interesting to read and also very motivating to the participants to the New York City Marathon.

I read the book during my preparation to my first NYC Marathon this year, and it made me more appreciative of the race and enjoyed my race.
