“You are an Ironman!” Mike Reilly
I started reading Mike Reilly’s book Finding My Voice. I was in the car and I think I was crying by the third paragraph. The stories Mike shares in the book are so emotional. I think they really inspire me since I want to hear Mike call me an Iron Man someday.
One of my friends raced Lake Placid Iron Man this summer. She posted pictures on Facebook with her signed copy of Mike’s book.
I had heard about the book earlier this year, but it wasn’t in our library yet. I had forgotten about it until I saw Jenny’s picture. I looked online and not only did no libraries in our regional system have it, no libraries in the entire state had it. Well, I knew I had to fix that. I emailed the librarian (also a good friend) and asked if she would order the book. She did and now not only do I get to read it, but hopefully it will inspire others in the area.
There is a story for everyone in here. Family stories, stories of survival, fighting back from medical issues, military, everything. I highly recommend everyone ready the book. I guarantee you will have a new appreciation for Iron Man after doing so. Who knows, perhaps you’ll decide you want Mike to call you an Iron Man too.
Thanks for joining me this week. Be sure to check our show notes for links to inspiration items and … don't forget to stop and smell the roses.
