Book Synopsis Still Running by : Vanessa Zuisei Goddard
Download or read book Still Running written by Vanessa Zuisei Goddard and published by Shambhala Publications. This book was released on 2020-08-11 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learn how to bring the power of stillness into your running practice with meditations, guidance, and inspiration from a long-time runner and Zen practitioner. Running is more than just exercise. Running is a practice, a moving meditation, that brings the power of stillness to all the activities in our lives. Vanessa Zuisei Goddard combines her experience leading running retreats with her two-decade practice of Zen to offer insight, humor, and practical guidance for grounding our running, or any physical practice, in meditation. When we see running solely as exercise and focus on improving our times, covering a certain number of miles, or losing weight, we miss the deeper implications of this art. Whether you are a new or experienced runner, you will learn how to be more embodied through thirteen running practices to help improve your focus and running form. Using mantras and visualizations, as well as a range of other exercises, Goddard offers ways to practice running as a moving meditation with an eye toward bringing the power of stillness to all the activities in your life. Ultimately, Still Running is a book about freedom, ease, and the joy of movement; it's about the power of stillness and learning how to use that power to live wholeheartedly.
Book Synopsis Still Running by : Nathaniel Northington
Download or read book Still Running written by Nathaniel Northington and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2013 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seven days after Nate Northington was born, in October 1947, the NAACP made an appeal to the world on racism before the United Nations. As Nate grew up within an ever-changing and often volatile world plagued by bigotry and hatred, even he could not have predicted what would happen twenty years later. Destined to play football from an early age, Nate matured into a talented player whose good grades and competitive spirit quickly caught the eye of college recruiters. As he chronicles his journey from high school to his experience as the first black to sign an athletic scholarship at the University of Kentucky, Nate shares a glimpse into how he and other African American football players fought on the gridiron throughout the civil rights movement to achieve success both on and off the field. Every moment would lead up to the crucial period in American sports history when, after the sudden death of Greg Page—Nate’s close friend and teammate—he would break through the barriers of racism and become the first black to play football in the SEC. Still Running is a story not only about the game of football and integration but also about one man who was inspired to keep running, find grace through God’s love, and ultimately become a sports pioneer.

Download or read book Still Running written by James Kerkula and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2014-04-14 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Still Running combines the authors love for running with his greater love for God into an incredible story, intended as an encouragement for the reader to run his or her own race in life. This true story is about an African orphan who experienced death at an early age when his mother suddenly died from a two-day illness. Without an adult guardian, he put himself through school and eventually matriculates across the Atlantic, where he becomes a crusader against poverty. Incorporating sport metaphors to teach lifes lessons, the book is in part an autobiography and an inspirational manual. Its main takeaway is the role of divine intervention versus personal resilience in human pliancy. This book is a tribute to the millions of African children whose childhoods are mired in unimaginable poverty: At least fifty percent of its proceeds go to support the Liberian Education Initiative: African School of the Future (LEI), a proposed model K--12 education environment focused on college preparatory education, sustainable development, and servant leadership.

Book Synopsis In My Own Words (Still Running) by : Mickey Finn
Download or read book In My Own Words (Still Running) written by Mickey Finn and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2011-07-25 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In June 1964, a twelve-year old child was summonsed to appear at Dublins Children's Court. The offence for which he was charged related to an amateurish break-in when coerced and accompanied by older children. In terms of gravity the misbehaviour was hardly more than a prank. In the severe surroundings of that oak panelled court, deep in the bowels of Dublin Castle, Mickey was sentenced to serve Three years hard labour in what was then known as an industrial school. Letterfrack Industrial School to which he was sent is situated in Connemara, one of Irelands most isolated regions. For a child its remoteness found its equal only in a Siberian gulag; the likelihood of escape less than that from San Franciscos notorious Alcatraz Prison. Its seclusion in this malevolent place of correction was a major factor in the institutionalised abuse of children by the Christian Brothers with whom these unfortunate waifs were placed Many of these ill-fated youngsters had not been convicted of any offence; their crime was that they were orphaned; most if not all were victims of dysfunctional family life. During his sentence Mickey, and the hundreds of other children who passed through this den of depravity, were methodically physically and mentally tortured and abused. The Irish State was instrumental in providing this depraved band of brothers with a steady supply of victims. With Taliban-like zeal the Christian Brothers methodically administered random life threatening beatings merely on a whim; the more injurious were witnessed by fellow brothers and many witnessed by other terrified children.

Book Synopsis What I Talk About When I Talk About Running by : Haruki Murakami
Download or read book What I Talk About When I Talk About Running written by Haruki Murakami and published by Vintage Canada. This book was released on 2009-08-11 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the best-selling author of The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle and After Dark, a rich and revelatory memoir about writing and running, and the integral impact both have made on his life. In 1982, having sold his jazz bar to devote himself to writing, Haruki Murakami began running to keep fit. A year later, he’d completed a solo course from Athens to Marathon, and now, after dozens of such races, not to mention triathlons and a slew of critically acclaimed books, he reflects upon the influence the sport has had on his life and—even more important—on his writing. Equal parts training log, travelogue, and reminiscence, this revealing memoir covers his four-month preparation for the 2005 New York City Marathon and includes settings ranging from Tokyo’s Jingu Gaien gardens, where he once shared the course with an Olympian, to the Charles River in Boston among young women who outpace him. Through this marvellous lens of sport emerges a cornucopia of memories and insights: the eureka moment when he decided to become a writer, his greatest triumphs and disappointments, his passion for vintage LPs and the experience, after the age of fifty, of seeing his race times improve and then fall back. By turns funny and sobering, playful and philosophical, What I Talk About When I Talk About Running is both for fans of this masterful yet guardedly private writer and for the exploding population of athletes who find similar satisfaction in distance running.
