Running as Fast as We Can is Out Now!
High school is an uphill battle… especially if you run cross-country. And in this new YA novel from Molly Hurford, cross-country running is about more than just putting in the miles.
About the book: Juniors Krista and Elle might be have been best friends once. Not anymore. But they do have one thing in common: A distaste for school sports, and need for an athletic extracurricular on their college resumes. When they both show up to the first cross-country practice of the season, it’s a surprise to both of them.
Writer and wannabe punk Krista wants nothing to do with preppy go-getter Elle, at least not anymore. But what caused the rift between the former childhood friends... and what will happen when the reason for their mutual dislike shows up with swagger?
Competitive sparks will fly, but it’s going to take the two girls finding common ground if they’re going to make it through junior year and fight back against the real enemy.

Book Talks + Group Runs with Micha Powell
In the past month, we’ve hosted book talks and group runs at two running stores—Vo2 Sports in Collingwood and Culture Athletics in Toronto—with dozens of reader/runners showing up to chat and run together. Most recently, Micha did a Q&A at A Different Booklist in Toronto for a big group, with Rosey Edeh—multiple time Olympian (and Micha’s mom and coach!)—asking the questions.
Check out a snippet of the talk, where Micha’s chatting about celebrating the little wins, right here:
