Book Swim  Bike  Run  Laugh

Download or read book Swim Bike Run Laugh written by Dan Madson and published by . This book was released on 2005-06 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Best of the Old West is a rollicking tale of frontier justice. Set in the period just before the American Civil War, the story follows one lawman's quest for justice across the breadth of a new nation. This period is little-known for anything except the details of the war. What is rarely shown, though, is the vibrancy of a young nation just coming into its prime. The story is a lavish illustration of that pulsing life, contrasting the stark reality of the frontier with the elegance and society of the settled East. Set against this panorama is a story of love, duty, adventure and romance which speaks to anyone who has ever been in love, or is still hoping to find it.

Book Swim  Bike  Bonk

Download or read book Swim Bike Bonk written by Will McGough and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2019-11-01 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Just as George Plimpton had his proverbial cup of coffee in the NFL as the un-recruited and certainly unwanted fourth-string quarterback for the Detroit Lions, so, too, did Will McGough immerse himself in a sport he had no business trying. Like Plimpton, whose football folly turned into the bestselling Paper Lion, travel and outdoor writer McGough writes of his participation in, around, and over the course of one of the world's premier triathlons, the annual 140.6-mile Ironman in Tempe, Arizona. McGough chronicles the Ironman’s history, his unorthodox training, the pageantry of the race weekend, and his attempt to finish the epic event. The narrative follows not just his race but also explores the cult and habits of the triathlete community, beginning with the first Ironman competition in Hawaii in 1978. This is a light-hearted, self-deprecating, and at times hilarious look at one man's attempt to conquer the ultimate endurance sport, with a conclusion that will surprise and delight both dedicated triathletes as well as strangers to the sport.

Whether it’s a college student undone by the boy who leaves her, or the boyfriend intent on leveling old scores from high school for his lover, or the husband who discovers—in the grocery store—the woman he should have been with all along, every character, no matter how off track, wants to believe in debt and credit and payback and making the messy world—and the messy world of love—turn out neatly.

She came out six hours later without fibroids but with a diagnosis of ovarian cancer stage 3c. A very rare typeaggressive, high grade, with no protocol for treatmentDertons doctors gave her from six months to five years with no forecast on a quality of life during that time. In I Cried Until I Laughed, Derton shares her journey, finding humor in the thing that frightened her the most. Upon being released from the hospital, she mapped a wellness plan and tracked her medical tests, blood draws, CT scans, x-rays, and surgeries. Derton became her own health advocate and gave herself the right to have hope. Hope to track, control, and fight with everything she could. After a twenty-two-month journey, she was pronounced NED on September 11, 2001. She kept her catheter in for two and half years for a just-in-case moment, and then for a Christmas present to herself, she had it removed in the surgeons office. That day she knew she had made it. With a sense of humor, I Cried Until I Laughed narrates how Derton accepted her positive attitude, her plan, and the self-control to not let cancer define her.
