Running Into Me

“Running Into Me: How I Stopped Racing and Found Myself” is a memoir by Phyllis Strand that blends distance running with personal growth. It uses the arc of her running life—training, racing, injury, and recalibration—as a frame for examining identity, ambition, and self-acceptance beyond finish lines and PRs.

"What an inspiration. After all the trials and tribulations, I found myself cheering for our everyday hero, Phyllis" — Kathy Flaherty
