Charity's Reading Log

It's Not About the Bike - Lance Armstrong and Sally Jenkins - I've really been more interested in cycling (not biking!) as of late, and I'd heard really great things about this biography. I finally decided to shun book club titles while recovering from a recent surgery, and I was very pleased with the choice! This book briefly recounts Lane Armstrong's rise to cycling fame but then focuses most closely upon his fight with cancer and his quest to not only defeat the disease but to also regain cycling glory by winning the Tour De France as a cancer survivor.

I think I enjoyed this book so much because it talks so intimately about overcoming obstacles, not just in sports, but also in life. It really put my measely ankle surgery in perspective!
