Book Synopsis Running Through the Wall by : Neal Jamison
Download or read book Running Through the Wall written by Neal Jamison and published by Breakaway Books. This book was released on 2014-04-30 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WHAT’S IT LIKE TO RUN FOR 30, 50, OR 100 MILES? This book is a great inspiration not only to current ultrarunners, and to marathoners looking for the next challenge—but also to runners of all abilities, who will see that there is nothing you can’t do if you have the desire. What makes ultrarunners tick? What goes through their minds at mile 93? How can you train for such a colossal undertaking? These questions and many more are answered in this inspiring collection of 39 personal stories from ultramarathoners. Ultramarathoning is the logical next step for those who burn with a desire to explore their limits, and beyond. It is impossible to run ultra distances without coming away with at least one fascinating story. This book is full of them. There are stories of fatigue, blisters, nausea, and despair. But the ultrarunner prevails to find hope, love, healing, self-discovery, friendship, selflessness, and in the end, for most, triumph. Learn what it feels like to run an ultra from the champions, the newcomers, and the veterans of the sport. A few brief excerpts: “I left Edinburg witnessing my second sunrise on this run. Most ultrarunners dread dawn—the hours from 4:00 to 6:00 a.m.—primarily because this is when fatigue sets in.” —Keith Knipling “It would be hours before we’d see the first aid station, and probably close to two days before we’d have dry feet again!” —Deb Pero “I’m 95 miles into a 100-miler, it’s over 100 degrees out, my legs are shot, I’m a few scant minutes ahead of Ann and Gabriel, and my pacer is stopped dead in the trail for fear of a skunk?” —Tim Twietmeyer “Ultrarunning is without question the most feared aspect of adventure racing.” —Ian Adamson “The urge to quit right there was overwhelming, but I was still in the race. Perhaps a miracle would happen and I could get in under the four hours it would take to make the next cutoff. I thanked the aid station captain and plunged into the darkness.” —Will Brown “It was time to put all the viable excuses aside and look inside.” —Tracy Baldyga “I think I quit about 20 times during the race, mostly between the time the sun went down and the time that I finally walked away. Reality sets in when it gets dark. The trail gets lonely.” —Jason Hodde “During every race you are faced with a moment of truth, a point in the race when you either quit or persevere to the end. Every person who finishes an ultramarathon has accomplished a great feat, simply because they finished.” —Bethany Hunter

Download or read book No Barriers written by Erik Weihenmayer and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2017-02-07 with total page 591 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “More than an incredible adventure story . . . a beautiful book about family and finding a way to achieve more than you ever thought possible.” —Brad Meltzer, #1 New York Times–bestselling author of The Lightning Rod Finalist, Colorado Book Award Honorable Mention, National Outdoor Book Awards Erik Weihenmayer is the first and only blind person to summit Mount Everest, the highest point on Earth. Descending carefully, he and his team picked their way across deep crevasses and through the deadly Khumbu Icefall; when the mountain was finally behind him, Erik knew he was going to live. His expedition leader slapped him on the back and said something that would affect the course of Erik’s life: “Don’t make Everest the greatest thing you ever do.” No Barriers is Erik’s response to that challenge. It is the moving story of his journey since descending Mount Everest—from leading expeditions around the world with blind Tibetan teenagers to helping injured soldiers climb their way home from war, from adopting a son from Nepal to facing the most terrifying reach of his life: to solo kayak the thunderous whitewater of the Grand Canyon. Along the course of Erik’s journey, he meets other trailblazers—adventurers, scientists, artists, and activists—who, despite trauma, hardship, and loss, have broken through barriers of their own. These pioneers show Erik surprising ways forward that surpass logic and defy traditional thinking. Like the rapids of the Grand Canyon, created by inexorable forces far beneath the surface, No Barriers is a dive into the heart and mind at the core of the turbulent human experience. It is an exploration of the light that burns in all of us, the obstacles that threaten to extinguish that light, and the treacherous ascent towards growth and rebirth. “A tale of grit, determination, courage, and overcoming tremendous odds. . . . A wonderful tribute to the greatness of the human spirit.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

Venus Arinelli saw her future as a concert pianist shattered when her father's life ended in disgrace. Now Venus plays in cocktail lounges, sporting her survival skills like a suit of armor. When a stranger emerges from her parents' long-ago past with an offer too good to refuse, Venus' suspicions flare up. But Gib Cameron has a special mission. He represents the Camerons of Tennessee--a family as rooted in American history and Southern soil as Venus' is notorious and fly-by-night. Yet the Camerons, survivors of tragedy, need Venus for reasons that have to do with honor and loyalty and an almost mystical bond to their shared past. And Gib, as hard-eyed a skeptic as Venus herself, has to persuade her to come to their mountain home. Humor, sexiness, pathos, and surprises are all part of Deborah Smith's unique storytelling magic. When Venus Fell will entrance readers with its tale of Venus's reluctant journey to Tennessee, where two well-guarded hearts, afraid to trust again, will find they've come home.
Book Synopsis Masters of the Games by : Joseph Epstein
Download or read book Masters of the Games written by Joseph Epstein and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2015-01-09 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this collection, his twenty-fifth book, Joseph Epstein departs from writing about literature and culture to indulge his fondness for the world of sport in all its forms. In these essays and stories on such subjects as saving Joe DiMaggio’s reputation from the clutches of an iconoclastic biographer, marveling at the skills of Michael Jordan, shaking free of an addiction to radio sports talk shows, or contemplating the changing nature of the games he grew up with and played as a boy, Epstein turns writing about sports into an art at once penetrating and highly amusing.
Download or read book A Fan's Life written by Paul Campos and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2022-09-05 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Sports fandom is defined by obsession, irrationality, and a love of rabbit holes. But in 2020, most professional sports had few games and no fans present. This led lawyer and University of Michigan superfan Paul Campos to ponder the ways that fandom is conditioned by social circumstance and collective psychology. In limning the structural unhappiness of a fan's life, he found deep and resonant political and personal meanings to loving a sports team-some obvious, others revealed only over time. Campos's own lifelong obsessions help him index fandom-related manias and provides an entry point to grasping their history, nature, and surprisingly broad import"--
Book Synopsis Tales of an American Lesbian by : Holly Valero
Download or read book Tales of an American Lesbian written by Holly Valero and published by Boilerplate Books LLC. This book was released on 2020-03-10 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It was the late 1980s. A time before email, the World Wide Web, desktop publishing, cell phones, and sadly, spellcheck. Today’s LGBTQIA+ was missing more than a few letters and symbols. I was a 21-year-old lesbian in search of a normal life working as the night shift disc jockey at WTTC radio, a 500-watt AM/FM station in the rural Pennsylvania town of Towanda. Dreams of making more than $3 an hour and maybe even finding at least one lesbian my age took me to Concord, New Hampshire. It was there, in my mid 20s, that I began writing The Straight and Narrow, a monthly column series documenting the politically turbulent 1980s. The global AIDS epidemic coincided with early LGBTQ activism. The result was widespread fear, a lot of intolerance, and internal community strife. Despite AIDS casting a national spotlight on the gay community, the lesbian population in the face of that epidemic simply disappeared. I wanted to remind the world – and lesbians – that we were still here, still queer, and still trying to get used to it.
