“Excellent Read for Runners of all Backgrounds and Skill Levels
I’ve read a number of running books throughout my career as a runner. Some of them are more interesting than others but this one really stood out for me. Whether you’re trying to qualify for Boston or just looking for ways to get around some of the mental roadblocks that are keeping you from becoming a stronger runner in general, you should consider this book to be a must read.

“An Inspiration for Runners—and Everyone Else!
Although written primarily for running enthusiasts and marathoners, Boston Bound will prove inspiring for anyone who has poured his/her energy and heart into pursuing a particular goal. The author presents a compelling and very personal struggle, played out in her mind as well as on the many marathon courses she has run in her striving to qualify for the prestigious Boston Marathon.”

“An engrossing, inspirational introspective
Elizabeth’s message is inspirational, not only for us runners, but for everyone. Personally, I could relate deeply to Elizabeth’s struggles with the spiral of perfectionism, anxiety, and depression, and I feel that the lessons learned from her eventual breakthrough can be applied not only to an athletic career, but to one’s career and relationships as well.”

“Not just for runners
Fun, fast, easy read. Whether or not you’re a marathoner or even an endurance athlete it’s a great story on perseverance. If you’ve ever set any type of stretch goal (athletic, personal, or career) that required focus, dedication and even sacrifice to achieve - you will appreciate this book. Elizabeth’s honesty on her expectations, frustrations and reaching out for support and help are truly inspiring. Highly recommend.”

“Excellent book. Highly recommended!!
Most running books are written by Olympians and Professional Athletes. While I do enjoy them, much is lost for us mere mortals with regular day jobs. I really enjoyed the perspective of a recreational runner with an incredible goal. Her goal was not to obtain a gold medal or be the fastest in the world. It was to run the Boston Marathon, to run along side the fastest marathoners in the world.”

“When you believe in the process long enough - it will be worth it!
So much more than a running story. A truly inspiring account of the darker side of obsession, perfectionism, anxiety and Elizabeth’s struggles to overcome these. Boston Bound is a story of dedication, commitment, the road to recovery - and successfully getting that elusive BQ!”

“Authentic and real
It’s rare to read a book that’s as reflective and honest as Elizabeth’s. I’m not a runner, but I could definitely relate to every struggle that she experienced and will definitely start to practice some of her learnings around mental toughness.”

“Not just a book on running, but on winning mental marathons
Elizabeth has written a fantastic and illuminating book on the challenges that plague runners of all levels and abilities. Her colorful language brought her training runs and races to life, and her willingness to be introspective and truly investigate her mental barriers and figure out how to leap over those hurdles made this a very honest and compelling read.”
