Review of Don't Call It a Comeback: What Happened When I Stopped Chasing PRs, and Started Chasing Happiness

I enjoyed this motivating memoir! Keira D’Amato ran for American University in the early to mid-2000s as a distance runner. In her early twenties, after encountering injuries and burnout, she felt she had lost her motivation for running and stopped. In Keira’s early thirties and retired from running, she got married and had two children. During her second postpartum recovery, she decided to go out and try to run for 90 seconds without stopping. She found it too difficult! She took this as a challenge and slowly but surely started to increase her runs and realized she had regained her passion for running. Then her running career really started to take off. Keira has achieved some of her biggest goals and is still running in her early forties. She has broken and still holds some amazing distance running records and results. Her running trajectory has been amazing! Keira subscribes to the theory of setting small goals and increasing them as long as your happiness is paramount in the equation. Her immediate family and extended family have been supportive and pivotal in helping with her running career. Overall this is an inspiring memoir which I really enjoyed.
