I'm a Kid... Run With Me!

I'M A KID...RUN WITH ME is a unique book & training guide written 'by a kid, just for kids.' Twelve year old author, Meghann Gunderman, can run a mile in a speedy 5 minutes 35 seconds & knows the time is now for a training guide for kids. The book is designed to help kids identify their athletic progress & promote dedication to an appropriate regime. It contains sections on how to start running, choosing the right shoes, stretching exercises & nutrition for young athletes. Convinced by Olympic gold medalist Dan Jansen that the best athletes study the little things that contribute to their success or backslide to learn from those experiences, the '93 North Carolina Schoolgirl Athlete of the Year was determined to write one for kids. After interviewing several world class athletes & other experts for the book, Gunderman says, "If this stuff helped Dan be a champion, it could help us kids be champions too." Price $12.95.
