I believe I ordered a new book and not a "Used but looks like new". I received a used book and don't htink I will ever go with this particular seller again and would recommend you to do the same. The name of the seller is Kerbearstats.

I first discovered ChiRunning about two years ago, and have integrated

I'm injury free!
