Download or read book A Mile at a Time written by Mark "Mace" Macy and published by Charlesbridge Publishing. This book was released on 2023-03-14 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An inspiring memoir about a father and son entering World's Toughest Race: Eco-Challenge Fiji despite one of them battling Alzheimer’s. “Travis and Mace have touched a generation of families around the world with their courage, resilience and kindness.” --Bear Grylls, star of Man vs. Wild and host of World’s Toughest Race: Eco-Challenge Fiji “Watching Mark and Travis Macy compete together for Eco-Challenge Fiji was a true inspiration. Travis’s selfless act of taking his father on what may be his last race is a story that anyone can relate to and what we need more of these days.” --Mark Burnett, chairman of MGM Worldwide Television Group; creator and producer of Survivor, The Apprentice, and World’s Toughest Race: Eco-Challenge Fiji In October 2018, Mark “Mace” Macy, sixty-four years old, was diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer’s disease. Mace had spent thirty years competing in Colorado and around the world in ultra-endurance competitions and is one of the few people who have finished all eight Eco-Challenge events. Once diagnosed, Mace feared losing endurance, strength, and independence. Mace's son Travis, also a professional endurance athlete, also struggled to see his father battling the disease. In 2019 they decided to participate in World's Toughest Race—a seven-day, grueling 400-mile marathon of trekking, climbing, biking, and paddling through the jungle—for one final race together. Weaving excerpts from Mace's passionate personal journals alongside a first-person narrative by Travis, A Mile at a Time tells the story of this incredible journey and what both father and son learned along the way. A powerful story about living—and thriving—with a disease that impacts nearly six million Americans. This timely, and deeply moving father-son adventure sheds light on the hard truths of this disease while giving readers hope of all that still can be achieved.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An expert in business turnaround shares his inspiring approach to problem-solving: “A fascinating read” (Mitt Romney). Visionary leader Greg Brenneman believes that true business success and personal fulfillment are two sides of the same coin. The techniques that will grow your business will also help you achieve a rich, purposeful, and integrated life. Here, Brenneman takes what he’s learned from turning around or tuning up many businesses—including Continental Airlines and Burger King—and distills it into a simple, clear, five-step roadmap that anyone can follow. He teaches you how to: *prepare a succinct Go Forward plan *build a fortress balance sheet *grow your sales and profits *choose all-star servant leaders *empower your team For more than thirty years, Brenneman has seen these steps foster dramatic results in a variety of business environments. But he also came to realize that he could apply these same principles to improve his life and build a lasting moral legacy. He found he could make better decisions by carefully taking the most important facets of his life—faith, family, friendship, fitness, and finance—into consideration. Brenneman’s inspiring examples, from both his business and his life, demonstrate the astounding effects these steps can have when you apply them—right away and all at once.

Download or read book 3 59 4 written by John Bryant and published by Random House. This book was released on 2005 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The years 1953-54 were marked by the conquests of two unattainable peaks - Mount Everest and the Four Minute Mile. But the dream of setting a new track record for this distance started as early as the 1880s, by the American Lon Myers, a stick-thin hypochondriac who was sick before and after every race, yet still held every US record from 50 yards to the mile. By 1902 a record of 4 minutes and 16 seconds was set by the Englishman Joe Binks, an amateur runner who in his spare time worked as a journalist and writer. And again in 1923 the world inched ever closer to the elusive four minute record thanks to Paavo Nurmi, the 'Phantom Finn', who won nine Olympic gold medals and set so many world records that statisticians are still arguing over the total. 4'01.4 the world knew at last that it was on the brink of conquering the Everest of all sports. But it wasn't until three Englishmen teamed up and took on the challenge as one that they succeeded in accomplishing what was described as the most significant sporting achievement of the twentieth century. This is the story of the long quest for the 'Magic Mile', almost two hundred years in the making. The methods the runners used, the secrets they uncovered, were passed like a baton through the generations, until the quest reached its climax on the 6th May 1954, when Roger Bannister, Christopher Chataway and Chris Brasher united to achieve the impossible.

Download or read book Two Guns 1 Mile written by Thomas Butler and published by . This book was released on 2021-05-07 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I first became aware of the town of Two Guns, Arizona in the summer of 2001 while on the tail end of a cross-country road trip. Driving through Arizona with the lovely lady who would later become my wife, we motored along the remains of Route 66, heading for home in California, when she said "that would make a great title for a book." I followed her gaze to a battered road sign, complete with a full patina of desert dust and the requisite bullet holes, and it read "Two Guns" and below it in slightly smaller white lettering "1 mile." I immediately thought of a couple of plot lines for which the title would be perfect, but I didn't think I could get a whole book out of it. Instead, I tried a few times over the years to put it in as the title of a short story, but kept on changing it for the final draft. I didn't want to use it up. Then, after researching the history of Two Guns, I realized that this title contained not just one story, but several. As has been true so many times throughout our nearly 20 years of marriage thus far, she was absolutely right the first time: it had to be a book. Two Guns, 1 Mile is a collection of original short fiction and historical fiction. The titles "Dual," "Sunset (fade to black)," "Extra Terrestrials," and "Two Guns, One Smile" contain only original fictional characters and fictional events. Any resemblance to actual events or persons, living or dead, is entirely coincidental. Other stories, including "Sharp," and "Smoke" contain only original fictional characters, but also include details from real events. For the purpose of the stories, I condensed some of the historical events, omitting details that were not relevant to the plot, but without altering the reported facts. The remaining stories in this collection, including "One Last Round," "The Whore War," "Trading Post," and "Upon the Rock of Our Redeemer" are fictionalized accountings of reported events. In "One Last Round," and "The Whore War," the events play out as described by reported facts, with the exception that Bill Duckin was not reported to have been in Clabberfoot Annie's brothel on the night in question. However, as their times in Canyon Diablo are reported to have overlapped, his presence there, and in the capacity as I described it, would not have been out of the question or out of character for the man. As for "Trading Post" and "Upon the Rock of Our Redeemer," the characters of Earle Cundiff and Adolph Cannon were respectively reported to be the owner of the Canyon Lodge (Two Guns) Trading Post, and a prospector of meteoric diamonds. Their roles within these works are entirely fictional, though my descriptions of them do abide by the generally known facts of their lives. Cundiff was shot and killed by Harry E. (Indian) Miller on March 3, 1926, and Cannon was reported to wander the desert between Winslow and Flagstaff over a period of several decades collecting diamonds that had supposedly been deposited there by the impact at what is now known as Meteor Crater. However, the dialogue and actions of these characters in their stories have no factual basis.Whenever possible, I have tried to keep to the facts of the historical events exactly as they have been reported in multiple sources. However, the stories contained in this book are works of fiction and are meant only to entertain. I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I enjoyed writing them.
