A divorced woman struggling with deeply rooted psychological issues, Bella Mackey approached the end of her thirties in tears. She could barely find the strength to get off the couch, let alone piece her life back together. Until one day she did something she never expected of herself - she put on her sneakers and went for a run.
The first attempt was not very long. But, to Bella's surprise, the next day she went running again. And the day after that, too. She began to set achievable goals - to run 5 kilometers in under 30 minutes, to walk to work all week, to do 10 push-ups in a row. Before she knew it, her mood had lifted for the first time in many years.
In her heartfelt book, Bella humorously describes how she used running to combat anxiety and depression, without sacrificing her main indulgences: wine, cigarettes, and ice cream. This funny, touching, and motivating story will make you tell your problems: "Just run," and redirect your life in the right direction - no matter how small your first steps may seem.
