Book excerpt: Throughout our lives, we are told by our parents, teachers, and bosses what we need to accomplish in order to achieve success. As a result, we often live our lives trying to prove things to other people - and we completely forget about proving things to ourselves.For 37 years, David Richman mostly did what was expected of him, and the results weren't pretty. He was an overweight, sedentary smoker in an unhappy marriage with an uninspiring middle-management job simply doing whatever he was told. Then one day, David decided to take charge. He stopped trying to fix an unfixable relationship, quit smoking, and attempted to run a mile without stopping. Soon he was running, biking, and swimming long distances, and seeking out ways he could push his limits and prove things to himself. Over the next 10 years, he completed hundreds of endurance events, including Ironman triathlons, ultra-marathons, and a 24-hour run in honor of his beloved sister. He never took home a trophy or stood on a podium, but as a result of taking charge of his life, he became a better Wall Street manager, a better father, and a healthier and happier person.In Winning in the Middle of the Pack, David shows you how to push forward when nobody's paying attention, when the only person who cares is you, and when you are free to become extraordinary for yourself.

Download or read book Run to Win written by David Romero and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2021-02-11 with total page 115 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You may never have thought of yourself as a runner, much less a marathon runner. The thought may even be repugnant to you as memories arise of high school Physical Ed. class or some other sport you may have been coerced into. You may say: “I am not a runner and have no desire to be one. Or, the idea is so foreign to me that it would take a miracle from heaven to make me change my mind.” The fact is you are a long-distance runner whether the thought is appealing to you, or not. We all run the race, however different courses. You are running the course of life God has set you on. Here are some things to consider. Are you on that course or, have you taken a wrong turn along the way and not sure where your original course is? Some of us have been running for years off courses, while others or relatively new and may not even know we have a given course to run. So why not consider getting back on course and running as efficiently as possible avoiding many obstacles along the way and cross the finish line strong. We all live life “on the run,” however far that span of years may be. We all carry baggage that often hinders our forward progress. With good training found in the Word of our creator we can discard unnecessary weight and run more efficiently. His desire is that we run the exact course He has set us on and run at a pace we can sustain for the distance. He provides all the support and direction we need if we only seek it. He is present when things do not go as they should. When we fall, He is nearby to pick us up and brush us off to run again. Our assurance in Him is, He will be there to hand us the trophy of eternity when we cross our finish line.

Download or read book Cycle of Lives written by David Richman and published by Greenleaf Book Group. This book was released on 2020-10-06 with total page 463 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever been forced to consider the fact of your mortality? If confronted with cancer, how would you feel? What would you say to the people you love? What would they say to you? No two people have the same answers to these questions, a lesson I learned well during a solo six-week, 5,000-mile cross-country bike ride I called Cycle of Lives. The trip started as a fundraiser in honor of my sister, June, who died of brain cancer. But long before I even set out on my endurance ride from L.A. to Florida to N.Y., I exhaustively interviewed fifteen people across the country whose lives had also been irrevocably changed by cancer—either as patients, survivors, loved ones, or caregivers. Hearing their moving stories, which were influenced by many different forms of past and present trauma, transformed my cycling odyssey into a journey of emotional self-discovery as I relived the chaos and emotional upheaval of cancer through them: from the man who found true love after losing his soulmate to cancer, to the elite athlete who had to reckon with his all-star body finally letting him down, to the medical oncologist who cares as much about her patients as she cares for them. Whether you or someone you care about is going through cancer or some other major trauma, I hope this thought-provoking collection of astonishing stories can help you, too.
Download or read book The Sportsman written by Dhani Jones and published by Rodale Books. This book was released on 2011-06-07 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With 11 seasons in the NFL, Dhani Jones had an unusually long career for a football player. But early on, Dhani thought his playing days were over. Cut by the Eagles and the Saints, he was at a professional crossroads. When the Bengals called, though, he was more than ready and in the best shape of his life. And for that, he credits his off-season. The Sportsman follows Dhani's discovery that the parts of his life, which to many seemed to be distractions—including an off-season TV show that sent him around the world to learn and compete in other sports—actually served to cross-train him in ways he'd never imagined, enabling him to become more grounded, globally aware, and, most surprisingly, a much better football player. Part travelogue, part workout guide, part inspirational memoir, The Sportsman is an invigorating account of Dhani's global sporting adventures and the lessons he learned along the way. From dragon boat racing in Singapore to carrying 300-pound rocks in Iceland and biking in Italy, Dhani's adventures taught him to be tougher, smarter, and stronger than ever. The Sportsman is a reminder that by connecting to the world through its people and customs and the spirit of competition, we empower ourselves in ways that can surpass our craziest expectations.
