{"product_id":"9780740789533","title":"Wired to Run: The Runaholics Anonymous Guide to Living with Running Addiction","description":"\u003cp\u003eOver 35 million people will go running this year in the United States alone. For some of us, it's more than just a hobby-over 11 million of us are runaholics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRunners and addicts. Addicts and runners. The two hardly seem to go together . . . unless you're one of those people who periodically put a couple of miles on your running shoes and then think things like, Boy, this feels good. I could go all day long. Then you do. Or at least try to. Running and addiction--as in running addiction--do indeed go together like chocolate and peanut butter, as \u003ci\u003eWired to Run\u003c\/i\u003e makes so perfectly clear.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWritten by Scoop Skupien, a habitual runner for the past 30 years and the founder of Runaholics Anonymous, \u003ci\u003eWired to Run\u003c\/i\u003e is a humorous trip through the world of runaholics and a host of issues that the running obsessed can't quite leave in their dust. It's a good-natured satire of healing groups that will keep readers--whether they're runners or run enablers--laughing page after breathless page.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCentral to the book and the whole online Runaholics Anonymous organization is Skupien's 12-Step program for recognizing and dealing with this mental and very physical disorder. From We admit that we are powerless over running to We reach the Pinnacle: the ability to run in moderation, the self-help style mixes laughs with actual training tips and other helpful advice. The combination-along with hilarious analysis of six different running types that encompass just about anyone who's ever broken a sweat--pokes great fun at runners, their odd habits, and their running rituals. It's definitely fun on the run! \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Andrews McMeel Publishing, LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47126319825136,"sku":"9780740789533","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780740789533_p0.jpg?v=1763626936","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780740789533","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
