IF you're in the mood to be inspired, consider attending My Road to Rome, a book talk featuring authors BJ McHugh and Bob Nixon at Capilano library this week.
North Vancouver's McHugh, 83, and Nixon, a television reporter for the CBC, teamed up for the book My Road to Rome: The Running Times of BJ McHugh, which chronicles the running career of McHugh. Having only taken up the activity in her 50s, McHugh has entered more than 300 races and has set more than 30 world records in her age group. She continues to enter half and full marathons today.
Nixon, a Burnaby resident who has worked for the CBC in Toronto, Iqaluit, Regina, Winnipeg and, currently, Vancouver, got back into running after meeting McHugh and recently completed a marathon in France.
The free book talk is taking place Wednesday, Nov. 2, 78: 15 p.m., at the library, 3045 Highland Blvd. Registration is required - call 6049874471.
