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.

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

"""Tears are in my eyes having just finished this book. I LOVE it. It resonates so deeply with me. The stories and raw emotions are inspiring and amazing. Women who are facing their own challenges with aging need this inspiration. I know I did."" -Gwendolyn Zywicke, ultrarunner and and author of Ultrarunning Mysticism ""Melinda's message of not accepting age as an inevitable decline really speaks to me. Physical changes do not have to mean that we don't have options for being active and staying healthy, and for men, where physical prowess is a measure of masculinity, that's a message I understand."" -Martin Bullen, international business consultant"
