DESCRIPTION:
I'm so glad I did As a lifelong MN Twins fan, and also a fellow anxiety sufferer, I knew I had to read this book. I'm so glad I did. Alisha has a great sense of humor and was able to make me realize that I am not "strange" for having anxiety. My favorite part was how she discussed her faith.

"Could not put this book down!" according to Amazon Customer. I could not put this book down and want to read it again.

When reading Alisha's story it was almost as though I was reading about myself other than the fact that I don't run a half marathon per month and I do run outside in the FRIGID MN winters I highly recommend this book and will be sharing with family and friends. Thank you Alisha for being so brave and s. Awesome Read Amazon Customer I read this book in roughly one day and as a fellow runner, it hit home pretty close.

It is humorous, happy, raw and most important, real.I hope there are more books in the making from Alisha!
