Killer Filler Friday: Calling All Favorite Run, Tri, Fitness Books!
Yesterday, (or maybe it was Weds..) I had a friend ask me the following:
'Hey, I'm in charge of the book buying now (for her company) and I wanted to know if you had any book suggestions?'
I looked around to ensure it was indeed me she was asking. Space was clear so yah guess so. Wow. Book ideas on women's run, sport, yoga, tri, fitness, and health? My mouth started salivating. This is sooo up my alley! And I was stoked she asked moi. But my answer sorta fell flat, as I realized I end up mainly reading fitness journals, articles, and blogs;-) So I told her about Run Less Run Faster and spaced out from there...
But then in the middle of the night I had an a-ha moment. I knew where I could turn for some great book suggestions...YOU all!
So now...my question to you:
And no pressure, no pressure. There's no judging here. Just lookin' for honesty and ideas!
Talk to me, talk to me bloggy friends!
(Oh...and btw...the book pic above are not my books. I'm not that cool yet. They're my DH's, and someday I'll get to em'...)

So now...my question to you:
What is the #1 run, tri, swim, yoga, fitness, or health book you'd recommend for active, sporty women?
And no pressure, no pressure. There's no judging here. Just lookin' for honesty and ideas!
Talk to me, talk to me bloggy friends!

Comments
A book, that in my opinion, is a must read for anyone in our sport, especially newbies is "The Slow Fat Triathlete" by Jayne Williams, the book is a riot and is serious at the same time
Can't wait to come back and read the comments here so I can make a list of books to buy.
But if you need some good fiction recommendations, I'm your girl!
thx so much for the rec's. Keep em' comin. I think I'll plan to make a recommended books link somewhere on my blog with this info!
Also, for women who have overcome great challenges through running I love the book Running with Angels. Not so much a technical running book, but a great story of a woman who overcame some amazing things through running.
