This is a great book told by Dr. Zeev Gilkis. He actually starts the book before some of his ambitious goals, he calls them interim goals, and it's like the readers are following his process. He had a knee injury and admits to being addicted to running, but realizes the work involved in achieving his goals. He shares his charts of running along with so many other stories. I thought the book was interesting as we follow this doctor on his journey. He's been through a lot, including colon cancer, his knee injuries, and his first triathlon at age 66. Very interesting book for anyone interested in memories, in health, and in running (although you do not have to be a runner to enjoy the book).

An inspirational read! Dr. Zeev Gilkis has decided that he is going to run marathon for his 70th birthday. At the age of 68 he begins his plans, keeps a journal and starts preparing. He believes it's never too late to set goals for yourself and you can make your dreams come true. You just need to set up a plan and go for them. After reading this book I do feel inspired to start refocusing on my goals and maybe add a 5k to it- I want to start there before dreaming of running a full marathon! Thank you to Net Galley and BooksGoSocial for a copy in exchange for an honest review.

This is an inspirational book. It tells us that you’re never too old to achieve your dreams. Surviving cancer and almost 70 years of age Dr Zeev decides he wants to run a marathon. And here am I claiming I can’t run 5K. If you want something you can achieve it, you just need to truly want so, not just half heartedly. I enjoyed this read, the subject matter in particular. The style was simple and easy to follow. It wasn’t gripping but it was interesting and has a lesson to teach. I give it 3 and a half stars.
