Okay okay this is less a list and more a confession of everything stacked on my nightstand between patient notes and foam rolling sessions! (Spoiler: half of these are running books because apparently I can't stop treating weekend warriors AND reading about them.) Grabbed most of these at my favorite JP haunts between gallery hops and Red Sox farm team detours don't judge me.

1Running Rewired	Running Rewired	Jay Dicharry	Running biomechanics	Trident Booksellers & Cafe	Boston	338 Newbury St, Boston, MA 02115	Basically my clinic notes but with better illustrations (don't tell my professors)!
2Born to Run	Born to Run	Christopher McDougall	Running narrative	Papercuts Bookshop	Boston	60 South St, Jamaica Plain, Boston, MA 02130	Read this before my first marathon and immediately regretted every decision (worth it though)!

6Advanced Marathoning	Advanced Marathoning	Pete Pfitzinger and Scott Douglas	Training guide	Trident Booksellers & Cafe	Boston	338 Newbury St, Boston, MA 02115	Dense but I love recommending this to the overachievers who ask for 'just a little more mileage'!
