Not so interesting! - [12 Oct 2009]

Review of Chi Running - [07 May 2009]
I thought this book was pretty much a waste of time. A good friend of mine who is a practitioner of Chinese medicine recommended the book to me because he knows I'm a runner. He told me a little bit of what the book talks about before I bought it. Honestly...
