Description
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.

Wow! Sometimes, the right book just comes along at the right time... As a former marathoner who is now struggling with chronic health issues, I could not have asked for a better read than this book. The author puts into words everything that I feel....and that those around me cannot seem to understand. She puts it all out there, the history, the drive, the heartwrenching present, and then she adds her perspective, which comes from the gift of hindsight. She really made me think about things from a different point of view and consider how this road could have been different. She has given me inspiration and hope for this unexpected future!
