Jennifer Graham doesnt run to lose weight she runs for the joy of endorphins. But lifes not always easy when the blubber hits the road. She must endure not only her self-made exhaustion and lactic acid, but the bemused stares of neighbors, offers of car rides from strangers, and the disdain of the dominant strain of runner those long, lean shirtless wonders. The challenges of being a fat runner, however, disappear faster than a pint of whisky-pecan ice cream when Grahams marriage implodes and she finds herself a single mom with four children, two donkeys, and a really bad attitude. To cope, she registers for a half-marathon she ran 10 years ago, to see if shes made any progress, or if shes just been running in place. She is rejected by the big-name coaches she contacts, but finds grudging assistance in the spirit of the late Steve Prefontaine. Yeah, I know hes been dead 35 years; its a minor metaphysical challenge. Grahams irreverent, hilarious, and brutally honest story will appeal to runners and non-runners alike, fat or thin. Its fast-twitch meets slow witch, with an outcome thats out of this world. --- Praise for Honey, Do You Need a Ride? --- Jennifer writes like an old friend speaks, in a voice you know and love. Her descriptions of running heavy, whether with added weight or added burdens, make her experience universal to runners and non-runners alike. Her overcoming spirit makes you want to cheer for her, run with her, or eat a pint of ice cream with her! Ultimately, its not the size of the body but the size of the heart that counts. And this runners heart is huge. Kristin Armstrong, mother of three, Contributing Editor for Runners World, and author of Mile Markers: The 26.2 Most Important Reasons Why Women Run Heres to the mid-pack runners, the back-of-the-pack shufflers, the start-slowly-and-taper-off champions. Just remember: theres a lot more of us than there are of them (those tall skinny Shirtless Wonders). And Jennifer Graham tells our story beautifully, with unflinching honesty and laugh-out-loud humor. John the Penguin Bingham, author of The Courage to Start, No Need for Speed, and An Accidental Athlete Jennifer Graham might be surprised when the sinewy running tribe she longs to conform to becomes readers of her book, because you dont have to be a fat runner to enjoy this moving memoir. If youve ever fallen in love with running; if running is a constant companion; if running has been a lifeline through bad times, then youll identify with Grahams story. Okay, maybe not the donkeys or the paranormal coaching, but when youre done reading youll wish you could join Graham on a run, just so you can hear more. Kara Douglass Thom, author of Becoming an Ironman and Hot (Sweaty) Mamas: Five Secrets to Life as a Fit Mom Jennifer Graham is the hilarious, pee-your-pants running partner you wish you had. Shell make you want to move to Boston just to pound out a few miles alongside her and slam down a ginormous hot-fudge sundae with her post-run. If you love running, laughing, eating, and reading in equal measure, youll love this book. Eileen Button, author of The Waiting Place: Learning to Appreciate Lifes Little Delays Jennifer Graham may think shes different from the skinny Shirtless Wonders she sees trotting at a faster pace, but shes not. She knows that running, like a good book, can help you to live, and shes every bit as serious, dedicated, and impressive as the folks at the front of the pack. She may, however, be funnier and more fun than most of them.
