Run to the Finish: The Everyday Runner's Guide to Avoiding Injury, Ignoring the Clock, and Loving the RunInspiration and practical tips for runners who prioritize enjoyment over pace and embrace their place as an "average" runner In her first book, popular runner blogger Amanda Brooks lays out the path to finding greater fulfillment in running for those who consider themselves "middle of the pack runners" they're not trying to win Boston (or even qualify for Boston); they just want to get strong and stay injury free so they can continue to enjoy running.

Inspiration and practical tips for runners who prioritize enjoyment over pace and embrace their place as an "average" runner

In her first book, popular runner blogger Amanda Brooks lays out the path to finding greater fulfillment in running for those who consider themselves "middle of the pack runners" -- they're not trying to win Boston (or even qualify for Boston); they just want to get strong and stay injury-free so they can continue to enjoy running.

Run to the Finish is not your typical running book. While it is filled with useful strategic training advice throughout, at its core, it is about embracing your place in the middle of the pack with humor and learning to love the run you've got without comparing yourself to other runners. Mixing practical advice like understanding the discomfort vs. pain, the mental side of running, and movements to treat the most common injuries with more playful elements such as "Favorite hilarious marathon signs" and "Weird Thoughts We all Have at the Start Line," Brooks is the down-to-earth, inspiring guide for everyone who wants to be happier with their run.

Started off great, but kind of went left.
Format: Kindle
I liked the first few chapters. The introduction of the book have an INCREDIBLE acronym to remember the drug classes. I liked him pointing out stems because they are very helpful, BUT some of the hints and connections could've been better. Also, the book doesn't help memorize the brand/generic name. It only helps remember what drugs go into which drug classes which could be done simply just from knowing your stems. So you're right back at square one trying to remember the brsnd/generic name like you were in the first place.

Makes memorizing 200 drugs look easy!
Format: Paperback
I really liked this book. I liked how this book broke up into 7 different sections (gastrointestinal, musculoskeletal, respiratory, immune, neuro, cardio, endocrine) this made it easier to understand. I also thought that Guerra did a good job of explaining what other students found helpful in memorizing these drugs, it was something that I could relate to and found this really helpful. I also really liked at the end of the chapter, how the book gave quizzes at the end of each chapter, this really helped me to retain the information and make sure I understood what the drug really was. Overall, this was a great book and I would recommend this book for anyone taking pharmacology. 200 drugs can be difficult to understand but I thought this book did a good job of memorizing the drugs.

Great for explanation of difficult concepts, with review questions each chapter
Format: Paperback
I always thought I could never understand pharmacology, so going through my Acupuncture school, I got though my pharmacology courses by rote memorization and pure luck. Then, in practice, I realize that I do have to understand pharmacology, what with the high use of medication in patients' daily routine. So I was looking for a hood, concised, simple to understand pharmacology review that I can do a quick study/review on my own time. Thankfully, I found the right book. This book is everything I've been looking for and amazingly simple to understand. I love the review questions at the end of each chapter. I wish I had found this book while in school, but for $20, it's really help me understand why my patients are taking certain drugs. It also helps me understand the western deconstruction of the Chinese medicinal herbs. I wish they'd come out with a pharmacy review just for Chinese medicinal herbs and potential contraindications, just for acupuncturists and herbalists. The current available herbal medicine textbooks just pretty much list the herbs and note western research on it, but not much of an explanation. With age, I find that I can no longer just do rote memorization, so understanding the basics really helps me to remember and apply concepts. I use this book in my clinic concurrently with a textbook on Chinese medicinal herbs pharmacological concepts to help me understand. And for that, I give it the five stars it deserves.
