My Road to Rome is the story of the life and running times of Vancouver's BJ McHugh and how she became the world's fastest senior long-distance runner. Now in her eighties, McHugh tells the tale of her unlikely achievement, that of a farmer's daughter born at a time when few women ever dreamed of running marathons. Taking up the sport only in her fifties, McHugh has spent the last three decades winning hundreds of races and setting world records. In My Road to Rome, she shares how she did it. It is a courageous, inspiring, yet bittersweet tale of fitness, life changes, and expanding one's realm of possibilities for people of all ages.
