Over 35 million people will go running this year in the United States alone. For some of us, it's more than just a hobby-over 11 million of us are runaholics." Runners and addicts. Addicts and runners. The two hardly seem to go together . . . unless you're one of those people who periodically put a couple of miles on your "running" shoes and then think things like, "Boy, this feels good. I could go all day long." Then you do. Or at least try to. Running and addiction-as in "running addiction"-do indeed go together like chocolate and peanut butter, as Wired to Run makes so perfectly clear. Written by Scoop Skupien, a habitual runner for the past 30 years and the founder of Runaholics Anonymous, Wired to Run is a humorous trip through the world of runaholics and a host of issues that the running obsessed can't quite leave in their dust. It's a good-natured satire of healing groups that will keep readers-whether they're runners or run enablers-laughing page after breathless page. Central to the book and the whole online Runaholics Anonymous organization is Skupien's 12-Step program for recognizing and dealing with this mental and very physical disorder. From "We admit that we are powerless over running" to "We reach the Pinnacle: the ability to run in moderation," the self-help style mixes laughs with actual training tips and other helpful advice. The combination-along with hilarious analysis of six different running "types" that encompass just about anyone who's ever broken a sweat-pokes great fun at runners, their odd habits, and their running rituals. It's definitely fun on the run!
