Susan Lacke Livres

Running is much more than just road racing! Humor columnist and runner Susan Lacke spent a year exploring running in its many shapes and forms. From races with giant cheese wheels to wife-carrying to naked racing to climbing the dark stairwells of the Empire State Building, Lacke's brave forays and misadventures are chronicled in funny and even embarrassing detail. Part self-discovery, part history, and part running love story, Bibs, Blisters, and Bare-Naked lays bare the brash, the bold and the very human side of America's favorite all-comers sport.

They were unlikely friends. She was a young, overweight college professor with a pack-and-a-half a day habit and a bad attitude. He was her boss, and an accomplished Ironman triathlete.

Yet Susan and Carlos shared a deep and abiding friendship that traversed life, sport, illness, death, and everything in between. Amusing and poignant, Life's Too Short To Go So F*cking Slow is about running and triathlon, growth and heartbreak, and an epic friendship that went the distance.
