Editorial Reviews

Review
Quite a literary accomplishment. It reminds me of a female "Rocky" and also of The "Old Man and the Sea." -- Evaluation editor Mark Lipsman

Tommye-K's story of true grit on her return to running is intriguing & thought provoking to say the least. -- Bill Rodgers

Product Description
The story of how and why stroke survivor Tommye-K. Mayer taught her stroke-paralyzed body to run culminating with finishing Boston's Tufts 10K.

Mayer will run the 2001 Kona Marathon as a member of the American Stroke Association "Train to End Stroke" marathon team.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Amazing Must-Read Book, July 6, 2001
By A Customer
Teaching Me To Run is the true story of one woman's struggle back from a debilitating stroke. Against all odds she not only taught herself to walk but taught herself to run. For anyone who is struggling through life, for anyone who thinks they're having a bad day or a tough time, this book is an eye-opener. Tommy-K. Mayer is an inspiration and her story should be read, reread and shared.
