Molly Sheridan covering one of the countless miles she’s run through a desert landscape.
Summer is here, and it’s time for travel and adventure–and reading. We are combining all three in our newest installment of the Another Mother Runner Running and Reading Club. The book is titled Running Past Midnight: A Woman’s Ultra-Marathon Adventure, and it’s written by Molly Sheridan with Al Marquis.
An accomplished ultramarathoner and a mother runner (natch!), Molly takes the reader along as she covers 150 miles through the Sahara Desert in the Marathon Des Sables, 135 miles through Death Valley and up Mt. Whitney while racing the Badwater Ultramarathon, and points in between. Whether you dream of running an ultra or prefer to live vicariously through Molly’s non-fiction narrative while sipping an ice tea while lounging on a shady hammock, we believe passages of this book will touch and inspire you.
We love all the elements of Molly Sheridan’s vanity license plate.
We will be hosting Molly as a guest on our podcast, recording on Wednesday, July 29, so you have more than a month to grab a copy of Running Past Midnight, be transported by its 204 pages, and pose your questions for Molly. We’ll ask for them on our Facebook page on Monday, July 27.
Until then: Enjoy the armchair (or hammock!) travel and adventure served up by this book! (And if you have books you think we should include as a future selection of AMR Running and Reading Club, please let us know via social media or a comment below this blog post.)
Make Running Past Midnight part of your summer reading repertoire, and join us for a podcast with Molly Sheridan that will air on Saturday, August 1.
Love this book/podcast idea! I’m almost afraid to read it…what if it inspires me to try to run an ultra?
sweet!! book purchased! can’t wait to read it!
This sounds great! I may have to join in your book club this time around! Is there a kindle version of the book?
I love the idea of reading a running book with y’all but this book isn’t at my local library so I would have to buy it. There is no kindle edition and the paperback is $19 on amazon. Yikes! I hope the next book choice is more accessible.
