Looks Like We're Running - An...

Dustin Riedesel

"A refreshingly frank book about the marathon trainer’s mindset." -Kirkus Reviews
"Was running a marathon with my wife a smart idea? Certainly not. We had two kids under the age of three and demanding jobs in tech. However, being smart was not my main concern. In our 4-year marriage, she'd been a rock. She nursed me through leukemia. She picked me up from rehab and drove me to AA. Now, she wanted to run the Disney Marathon. So be it. I signed up like two sports bras, extra supportive!"
Looks Like We're Running is a humorous story about failing badly and getting better. Can running save a person's life? Can it improve a marriage? Overcome an addiction? Each year, nearly 16 million Americans attempt a marathon. Nearly every one of them is just a regular person fighting to discover a better version of themself. Looks Like We're Running is for that person. It was written by that person. This book contains guidance on training, gear, nutrition and recovery, but most importantly, it is a testimony of the marathon's number one lesson: How to keep going.
Dustin Riedesel first attempted running three months after completing chemotherapy for leukemia. He started running seriously eight months later while in a rehab facility for alcohol abuse. Since running began, he lost weight, improved his marriage and friendships, earned freedom from addiction, had two children, bought a new home, received a promotion at work, and finally, wrote this book to serve as a companion for anyone seeking similar outcomes in their life.
Can moving your body for extended periods of time really give you all that? There's one sure-fire way to find out. Put on some shoes. Get out the door. Looks like you're running.

And So I Run - 15000 miles of...

Jamie Doward

A runner’s high ... and low.
 
And So I Run is a story about running. Jamie Doward uses running as an escape, as a way to evade life’s most painful realities. As the marathon medals stack up, a new obsession creeps in – beating the clock, needing to run a time, a time that once attained would magically solve all of life’s problems. In a world where some self-medicate with alcohol or drugs, Jamie finds his solace in marathon running, each training run, each race, a desperate attempt to outrun depression, shame and a sense of failure.
 
But And So I Run is more than just a story of a 26.2-mile obsession – it’s a celebration of life’s absurdities and an uplifting story about how Jamie redefined his relationship with running. Engaging and relatable, with the marathon at its heart, And So I Run speaks to all runners, offering a raw, witty and human exploration of how we cope, heal and sometimes keep on just putting one foot in front of the other.

Costa Brava Las mejores excursiones

César Barba

La Costa Brava modela la fachada marítima de las comarcas catalanas del Alt y Baix Empordà y de la Selva, desde Portbou, en la frontera con Francia, hasta la desembocadura del río Tordera en Blanes. Se trata de uno de los litorales más pintorescos de España, formado por acantilados abruptos, bosques de pinos, calas recónditas y playas de ensueño.

Esta costa debe su relieve accidentado a una serie de sistemas montañosos que caen en picado sobre el mar Mediterráneo, formando acantilados rocosos que le dan un aspecto salvaje, con pequeñas calas donde los pinos remojan sus pies en el mar y extensos arenales –como el golfo de Roses o la playa de Pals– que confieren variedad al paisaje.

Los Pirineos no se resignan a perder su carácter de alta montaña al llegar a la Costa Brava, mantienen su personalidad y nos regalan bellos pueblos de pescadores y villas rurales colgadas de las alturas, humedales costeros de delicado equilibrio ecológico y hayedos que crecen al amparo de umbrías empinadas. El extremo oriental del Pirineo ha sido, desde siempre, un lugar de paso entre los pueblos y culturas de la península ibérica y el resto de Europa, lo que ha dejado en el territorio un legado muy preciado. Este patrimonio histórico-artístico, enclavado en el punto de encuentro del mar y la alta montaña, conforman un atractivo territorio para los paseos y excursiones.
