Description

Des Linden's memoir Choosing to Run is an inspiring account of her journey to becoming a champion runner. On April 16, 2018, she faced challenging conditions at the Boston Marathon, but instead of being deterred, she tapped into her inner strength and went on to win the race.

The book takes readers through Des's life story, from her early days as a competitive runner in San Diego to her decision to pursue professional running. With determination and an independent spirit, she rose through the elite ranks and became a two-time All-American at Arizona State University.

Choosing to Run offers a unique insight into the mind of a champion athlete, revealing what motivates Des to keep showing up and pushing herself to be her best. A gripping and inspiring read for anyone interested in sports or memoirs.
