It's all about books this weekend - days 8 and 9 of the 12 days of Christmas giveaway are all of a literary nature :)
So let's start with today's fab prize that's up for grabs......
Laura Fountain, of lazygirlrunning.com fame and now published author, is kindly gifting an e-copy of her forthcoming book The Lazy Runner which is (how's this for cool) being released on Christmas Eve!
Laura's story of how she went from couch potato to marathon runner is nothing short of inspiring. In 2008 she realised she needed to take control of her health and fitness and started learning how to run. Although she couldn't run for five minutes to start with she decided to think big and aim to complete a marathon......two years later she did it, and she's just signed up for her sixth 26.2 miler!
Of the book itself, Laura says she never expected to write a book about running - she was always planning, like so many of us, to write a novel - but the great response from her blog readers combined with a desire to write a practical, helpful guide to anyone contemplating a similar journey to hers resulted in The Lazy Runner!
I love books about running - I find them so inspiring, they're definitely a secret weapon to lift any flagging motivation. I'm looking forward to adding Laura's book to my collection :)
So if you'd like to get your hands on an e-copy of The Lazy Runner and get motivated to set yourself a big goal in 2013, here's all you have to do....
