Runner’s Book Club - DiVine on Main - November Time/Date TBD

Written By Becka Lyons

“What I Talk About When I Talk About Running” by Haruki Murakami drew a larger crowd than our first “meeting,” including two new faces of the MRM Club! We sipped & snacked while discussing the gut reactions that Haruki instigated. A mixed bag on whether to recommend reading this book, but it did lead to some great storytelling and a great reason to socialize within our Community! 

Next on the agenda for Early November, “Once a Runner” by John L Parker, Jr.

Becka Lyons

The other co president Becka Lyons has been running since the 5th grade, joining the high school cross country team in the 7th grade to be coached by Mike Smith when the middle school team didn’t have enough participation. Under Smith, Becka learned not only the ins and outs of running and won the 2006 Division 3 XC Championship Team title, but also all of the life skills that go with it; perseverance, goal setting, determination, and grit just to name a few. It would be those life skills that carried her from Mascenic Regional High School onto Quinnipiac University to earn her Doctorate of Physical Therapy and eventually open her own PT clinic with her husband, Elevation Physical Therapy & Sports Rehab in Peterborough, NH. Combining her passions for running and therapy, Becka held the Assistant Coach position for all things running at Mascenic for the last 4 years, bringing home both a boy’s and girl’s Division 3 team titles (only other Girl’s title since 2006!). When not at Elevation PT, Becka is usually found on the trails with her husband and black lab, gardening, or curled up with a book and a cup of tea.
