Book Review: Unbreakable Sole

This book came highly recommended by Darren Hardy, so I ordered it. Missy is on Darren’s A Team, so when she shared her book for his feedback, he was more than happy to read it through. Darren said he was truly moved, even bringing tears at times.

Missy is a marathon runner. Throughout the book, she uses the analogy of the 26 Miles to share her story, life’s lessons learned, the struggles and the joys in her life, as we all run the marathon of life.

For such a young lady, Missy has had several major life events. Throughout her journey, she credits the unconditional support and encouragement from her parents, especially her Dad who helped her with her first marathon.

Some of the chapter headings that weave the marathon with life include the importance (and risk) of having a pace runner; Veyo Hill (grueling and steep); silver ballons (mile markers along the way); the sick wagon (choosing if your body needs this or if you are mentally checking out); solitude (head talk); and many more. Although there are lessons throughout these ‘miles,’ this is a very personal story that includes several major life events that most of us will never experience.

We cannot control what life might throw at us, but we always have the opportunity to choose how we respond. How we train for the marathon of life has a big impact on how we show up in these moments. Read this book! – CMW
