MILE 9 is a little book that tells the simple story of an unhealthy midlife woman who decides to change her life...and does!   Lifelong couch potato Eleanor Brownn was facing 50 when she decided to train for the 26.2 mile Los Angeles Marathon.  MILE 9 is a personal memoir that tells the inspiring story of the spiritual lessons she learns along the way as she travels past her doubts and fears to challenge a notion she's held in her heart and mind since childhood: the idea that she's "too fat" to participate in life. But MILE 9 is about more than external transformation.  With determination, faith, and persistence, her journey step by step to reach the Finish Line reminds us all: Never give up on your dreams.  Because when you trust your heart and stay on your path, miracles can happen. MILE 9 is a book about finding the courage within to pursue a dream against the odds.  It's about not giving in to despair.  It's about putting one foot in front of the other, even when you feel like you can't go on. And, ultimately, it's about realizing you possess an inner strength you didn't know you had.
