AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Catriona Menzies-Pike came late to running and early to feminism. One of the least athletic kids in her high school class, she headed off to uni intent on expanding her mind, not improving her physical prowess. Then, at twenty, she lost her parents in a light plane crash. As she struggled with grief and the responsibility of looking after her three younger sisters, Catriona’s life took an unexpected and uncertain path through her twenties. Physically worn out, she decided to train for a marathon.' (Publication summary)

'It begins with a huge loss. When Catriona Menzies-Pike was just twenty, she came home from a bushwalk to find that the unthinkable had happened: both her parents had died in a plane crash. How does someone even start to take in, let alone cope with, something like that: ‘this prospect that was just too gigantic to credit’?' (Introduction)
