Incomplete book running (85 Ergebnisse)

Hardback. Zustand: Good. ?Sagal has created a new genre?the five-minute-mile memoir. Combining commentary and reflection about running with a deeply felt personal story, this book is winning, smart, honest, and affecting. Whether you are a runner or not, it will move you.? ?Susan Orlean In the midpoint of life, I found myself lost, in a dark place. So I tried to figure out exactly how many miles I had run to get there.So begins The Incomplete Book of Running, a funny, wise, and powerful meditation about running and life from Peter Sagal, longtime columnist for Runner?s World and the host of NPR?s Wait Wait.Don?t Tell Me!, that shares stories, advice, and warnings he?s learned over his long and checkered career on the pavement. Just before turning forty, Sagal?brainiac Harvard grad, short bald Jew with a disposition toward heft, and sedentary star of public radio who had exercised sporadically as a teenager?started running seriously. A decade later, what began as a simple mission to keep himself healthy had evolved into fourteen marathon finishes?including one in Boston in 2013, where he crossed the line only moments before two bombs went off?and tens of thousands of miles on roads, sidewalks, paths, and trails all over the United States and the world. Running was an important part of his life, but it wasn?t until he experienced a personal crisis that he realized it had become a mode of survival. In these pages, Sagal writes with humor and insight about the moments that have changed the way he sees the relationship between life and sport?from running a charity race in his underwear (in St. Louis, in February) and attempting to ?quiet his colon? while taking a lap in his neighborhood to volunteering as a guide for visually impaired runners, causing a scandal by sneaking onto a course midrace, and making his triumphant post-bombing return to Boston in 2014. He also dives deep into the emotional experience of running, body image, the similarities between endurance sports and sadomasochism, the legacy of the sport as passed down from parent and child, and the odd but extraordinary bonds created among strangers and friends sharing the road. As time goes on and his mileage increases, he realizes that the only way to overcome obstacles is simply to keep running through them. Candid, clear-eyed, and frequently hilarious, The Incomplete Book of Running is about more than just a man and a sport. It is a field guide to life, a collection of lessons centered around all those things that keep us moving forward: hope, persistence, practice, and love.…

(Susan Orlean).On the verge of turning forty, Peter Sagal?brainiac Harvard grad, short bald Jew with a disposition towards heft, and a sedentary star of public radio?started running seriously. And much to his own surprise, he kept going, faster and further, running fourteen marathons and logging tens of thousands of miles on roads, sidewalks, paths, and trails all over the United States and the world, including the 2013 Boston Marathon, where he crossed the finish line moments before the bombings. In The Incomplete Book of Running, Sagal reflects on the trails, tracks, and routes he?s traveled, from the humorous absurdity of running charity races in his underwear?in St. Louis, in February?or attempting to ?quiet his colon? on runs around his neighborhood?to the experience of running as a guide to visually impaired runners, and the triumphant post-bombing running of the Boston Marathon in 2014.
