Endurance 101 Book Review
| February 20, 2014 | Posted by Melinda under Product Reviews |
A year ago I reviewed the book “Endurance 101” written by blogger Aarene Storms of the Haiku Farm. The review was printed in AERC’s EN extra edition last spring and today I got permission to reprint the review here! So if you aren’t an AERC member, or you missed the review the first time around, […] more

One of my favorite running blogs, Science of Running, has published a book by a similar name. Amazon link (Kindle version is $9.99) I’m extremely busy this week with 2 exams on Friday, 1 on Monday, and another cow surgery to prepare for tomorrow afternoon.

Iver’s Book Review Part 4 and end! I especially appreciated ti’s stance on the capabilities of a horse.
