Women. Women doing awesome things. Women breaking records. Women testing the limits. Is there anything more inspiring?

This month, in honor of Women's History Month and in honor of some AMAZING women athletes, Jackie's got a few romance books that feature women athletes!

Oh, and a rabbit hole about one of her favorite niche subjects: The Barkley Marathons.

"The Barkley Marathons - 100 Mile Run" (Mahoney, 2002)

"The Barkley Marathons, the Race that eats its young" (youtube doc)

"Where Dreams go To Die: Gary Robbins and the Barkley Marathons" (My favorite youtube doc)

"Jasmin Paris first woman to complete gruelling Barkley Marathons race" (Brown, 2024)
