Over the past couple of months, I’ve been reading a book called First Marathons by Gail Waesche Kislevitz. It’s the perfect book for my post long run ice baths. It’s a nonfiction series of short stories about first marathon. It’s really interesting how one minute you’ll be reading about an overweight woman’s first marathon and the next you’ll be reading about an elite Kenyan’s first marathon. It provides a great perspective for someone like me who has never run a marathon because there are a lot of things in common among all of the stories. So, I’m getting an idea of what to prepare for.
