Racing Heart: A Runner's Journey of Love, Loss and Perseverance (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780999795002)

What do you do when you're forced to give up the thing you love?

Kate Mihevc Edwards was a passionate runner for years and lived for endurance sports. Until the day doctors told her she'd have to stop--or possibly die. After being diagnosed with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC), Kate was forced to mourn the loss of a lifestyle she loved and face a very scary question: What now?

With the grit and determination that made her such an accomplished runner, Kate embarked on a journey that taught her to let go of her former self and claim a new life filled with strength, gratitude, and peace. Racing Heart is Kate's testament to this journey as she walks readers through her transition from a runner eager to finish the race to a woman who values the preciousness of the present.

Written for anyone facing a major life change or hungering for a life beyond the mundane, Racing Heart is the inspirational reminder that it is often from the most painful experiences that true joy and passion emerge.
