Un Miglio Al Giorno
“A Mile A Day” is the title of the Italian children’s book authored by Silvia Pillin. In my own book Marathon Woman, I tell the story of my dad encouraging me at age 12 to run a mile a day; it changed my life! Silvia thought that was a motivating thing to tell kids, especially young girls! So she wrote this wonderful book AND to launch it, she pinned on bib 261 and ran her first-ever half marathon in Udine after the press conference. Only 25% of the runners were women, and Silvia said, “I’m here to convey a message of female strength.”
Congratulations Silvia!
