A Commercial Interruption

While I catch my breath from my tempo run yesterday morning (a bit of a hyperbole, but entirely possible, unfortunately), I wanted throw out two bits of shameless self-promotion:

PS: What I Didn't Say, is an anthology of unsent letters to female friends written by a range of witty, smart, interesting women that I'm thrilled to be grouped with. For any local Front Rangers out there, I, along with my friends Bevin and Megan and soon-to-be-friend Jill, will be reading our essay from it at The Tattered Cover  (the Colfax location) on Tuesday night, the 10th, at 7:30 p.m. My essay? To my invisible friend from my childhood, who--big sigh--I still miss more than I should.



 
Run Like A Mother is a running book unlike any other (clinical, boring, workout-heavy) running book out there. Sarah and I spun the non-marathon-centric text out of our 2007 marathon adventures, and it will be hitting shelves in mid-March. But there's no time like now to start promoting it, considering I found it today on Amazon (killing time by, you know, googling my own name). We haven't cracked the egg yet on marketing it—stay tuned for a mothering/running extravaganza—but just wanted to throw it out there in case ordering gifts for March birthdays is on your to-do list.

(Also, there will be one change on the cover: it'll read: How To Get Moving--and Not Lose Your Family, Job, or Sanity. While we love our jobs, we love our families more.)

O.k., back to your regularly scheduled blog. I've got a long run tomorrow, and a post I'm cooking up in my head about supplements. Stay tuned.

So very cool Dimity! Both are now on my must read list! I like the new title sounds good, but Run Like a Mother sounds great, too!
Hope the long run went well! I'm off to Fresno (yes, don't laugh) for a little race in hopes to BQ! Enjoy the weekend! :)

OOohhh, I hope I'm the same Jill as soon-to-be-friend Jill. I do plan to be there Tuesday, can't wait :). I'll take pics.

Hope you had a good long run. I did not!! I'm beginning to wonder if knitting isn't a better hobby for me.

A gorgeous day in the Mile High city - enjoy! Holler when ya wanna run.

I was already excited about Run Like a Mother but the PS book looks like fun too!

Wish I could have come to your reading! CONGRATS on both books. I know the pain and suffering involved in publishing. Would rather do an Ironman:-)

Wow, congratulations, Dimity! Hope you're strutting proud. They both looks awesome; can't wait to get my mitts on them.

Yay! So excited about both. And that is very cool about the reading at the Tattered Cover. No wonder so many people recognized you on the trail yesterday. ;) I can't wait to read the Run Like a Mother book and proudly give it to all my closest runner-mother friends. You do great work.

I am so excited to read it and share it too. Sounds like a wonderful book. Same with your essay one too.
