Power Walk! is broken into three sections: How-To, Race Reports, and Resources. The race reports are part memoir, part travelogue so there are fun stories about half-marathons in each of the fifty states. I enjoyed the tidbits about Waffle House and Cracker Barrel restaurants, visiting Ma Ingalls' gravesite, and shotskis. It's more about the events than the racing. It's not just about walking; runners and anyone who enjoys athletic events will like this book. There's more about racing and training in the How-To section along with useful advice on selecting shoes or socks, and other exercises to help avoid injuries. The resource section has book and movie reviews as well as organizations to help runners and power walkers.
Overall, it's a fun book with lots of laughs as well as useful information.
