Download or read book Quest for the Finish written by Jim Buck and published by eBook Partnership. This book was released on 2020-09-01 with total page 538 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quest for the Finish-Diary of a Distance Runner is the story of one man's personal experiences in the custom of running. It details how he got mixed up in such an endeavor and how it became an integral part of his life; how it morphed into a preferred method for keeping fit. The author describes how a fitness routine can become a sport; how the everyday jogger can become an athlete; how the athlete moves from one challenge to the next. In relating his running experiences over the years, the author provides detailed and inspirational accounts of his own experiences in training and in races at distances from 1 mile to the 26.2-mile marathon. These accounts offer valuable insights into training and racing techniques: the challenges of reaching the finish line; the joy of competition; the anguish when things go wrong. The book is also a travel log of sorts, since it provides descriptions of running adventures across the USA and in several foreign countries. The author takes the reader on an often humorous and sometimes painful journey from the novice runner to the peak of fitness, followed by the eventual slow decline in performance that comes with age and life's struggles.

Download or read book Early Mill Valley written by Claudine Chalmers and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2005 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mill Valley rests in the shadow of Mount Tamalpais, the tallest peak of the Coast Range. Ancient redwood groves cloaking the mountain's flanks and nearby canyons attracted a pioneer sawmill that gave the town its name. As the timber industry was replaced by dairies, Mill Valley became a destination for those drawn to beauty: hikers, campers, naturalists, artists, writers, and dreamers who gave the town its early bohemian atmosphere. Tamalpais Scenic Railway once ran the "crookedest railroad in the world" to the summit, where passengers exulted in the taste of salty ocean winds, rolling fog, and stunning vistas of the inner bay and ocean shores. Pres. Theodore Roosevelt reserved some of the area's majestic trees, now national parkland webbed with 200 miles of scenic trails, and named them Muir Woods for naturalist John Muir.

Download or read book San Francisco Running Guide written by Bob Cooper and published by Human Kinetics. This book was released on 1998 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: " With nearly a million acres of beautiful parklands, countless breathtaking mountain and canyon trails, spectacular cityscapes around every corner, and hundreds of miles of gorgeous coastline, the toughest part of running in San Francisco may be deciding on a route to explore first. San Francisco Running Guide was written to help make the difficult decision of where to run in the Bay Area an easy one. The book introduces local and visiting runners alike to 35 of the best running routes, plus it gives complete course information about the top 10 races-from 5Ks to marathons-held annually in the Bay Area. For each running route included, the book provides: - an explanation of why it was selected; - a detailed map showing roads and trails to follow on the route; - an icon key that shows route distance, scenery, terrain, hill ratings, and available facilities; - access information that tells how to get to the starting point; - course information that describes every step of the run; and - ""Foot Notes"" that provide additional information to make the run more enjoyable. Author Bob Cooper-a former Running Times executive editor, a competitive runner, and a longtime Bay Area resident-scouted each route himself so runners don't have to waste their own time exploring unsuitable or less-than-enjoyable routes. Visitors running the routes will get to experience the unique beauty of San Francisco and the Bay Area firsthand, while resident runners will discover routes they never knew existed. "
