Synopsis

Inspiration to lead you to a healthier lifestyle. In her mid-forties, Ruth Heidrich was diagnosed with breast cancer. After undergoing a double mastectomy, she challenged herself to the punishing Ironman Triathlon, a test of endurance involving a 2.4-mile swim, 112-mile bike ride, and a 26.2-mile marathon run. Twenty years later, Heidrich is still running, cancer-free, and positive about life. This is her story. She describes her fight with cancer, the healing powers of proper nutrition, and the rewards of running the toughest races in the world. The author offers a step-by-step routine for running, swimming, biking or training for competition. She includes tips on making time to exercise, how to increase one's speed or distance and how to avoid injuries.
