Outrunning Age: Meeting Midlife with Courage, Compassion, and a Few Blisters

Do you ever wonder how to handle the changes that getting older brings?

Learn how one woman found her own answers

 

Melinda Walsh started running at age 37 as her first marriage was ending. By 55, she'd embraced a new life as a runner, and found love again with a wonderful man. As 60 approached-having never tackled more than a 5K-she set a goal of completing a half marathon.


However, no matter how many miles she ran, she couldn't outrun her self-criticism. Fears about not being a "real runner" and being "too old" plagued her. As she encountered more than a few setbacks, including a disastrous flood and an unexpected injury, Melinda learned to challenge her self-imposed limitations, build resilience, and come to terms with what it means to grow older, propelling her to not only finish the race, but to finally listen to the voice of self-love. 


Told with suspense, vulnerability, and humor, Outrunning Age is the inspirational and relatable story of one woman's journey to overcoming the biggest obstacle-herself-in the ultimate race to find courage and self-acceptance.
