I Can Run
Author: Amy Lane
Publisher: Yellow Kite
ISBN: 1529365740
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 264
Book Description
I CAN RUN is not a running book for 'runners' - it's the must-have running book for anyone who has ever experienced a moment of defeatism and had the little voice in their head make the excuse, 'I can't run'. In 12 chapters, you will discover that you can. You will dig deep to find your inner athlete. You'll learn how to train smart, recover well, sync your runs to your menstrual cycle and fuel right. I CAN RUN will ensure you never again wait until you're thin enough, fast enough, athletic enough, whatever-next enough to call yourself a runner, because if you put one foot in front of the other, repeatedly, you are a runner. Getting outside, surrounding yourself in nature and moving your body is more important than ever in these anxiety-inducing times, and Amy's debut will give you the encouragement and know-how that you need to do this. I CAN RUN recognises that this is hard and that committing to consistent training is often more of an accomplishment than the 10K, half marathon or marathon race itself. You will find comfort and encouragement in Amy's experience of cramps, chafing and the occasional little sick, while learning from leading experts about how to set yourself up for success and get the very best from your runs both physically and mentally. This book is real talk about the keys to going well far. We're all in it for the long run, together. We CAN do this!

Pages : 369
Book Description
It was a dark and cold night when it happened. When Kaleo became a spirit of the forest and he disappeared from the world. Unseen and unheard, he dedicated his life to protecting others. As the spirit of the jungle, he has magic on his side as he saves animals and people alike from bitter fates, but, this magic also comes at a cost. A cost so high one could barely imagine, for once you become a spirit, you become invisible to everyone, including family. As he watches from afar, the young and hopeful Kaleo can only dream of the beautiful life he once had. Until one fateful day, it all changes. Bumping into a mysterious painter, and almost falling to his death, Kaleo meets the person that will change his life forever. The first human to see him in a year, Hayden. With his charming smile, beautiful amber eyes and flowy hair, Hayden jumps into Kaleo’s life, bringing back joy and energy into it. The two quickly bond and help one another, Hayden’s free-spirited nature reminding Kaleo of the unlimited possibilities life has and Kaleo’s positivity giving Hayden his confidence back. The two become an unstoppable team, but besides this beautiful friendship, something more appears: Love. What follows is an exciting adventure of self-discovery in which both protect and help one another from the challenges that life throws at them. From old mysteries, to unresolved past events, united, they will face it all. And just maybe, they will even break Kaleo free.

Book Description
From the USA TODAY bestselling author of Sweet Thing and Nowhere But Here comes a love story about a Craigslist “missed connection” post that gives two people a second chance at love fifteen years after they were separated in New York City. To the Green-eyed Lovebird: We met fifteen years ago, almost to the day, when I moved my stuff into the NYU dorm room next to yours at Senior House. You called us fast friends. I like to think it was more. We lived on nothing but the excitement of finding ourselves through music (you were obsessed with Jeff Buckley), photography (I couldn’t stop taking pictures of you), hanging out in Washington Square Park, and all the weird things we did to make money. I learned more about myself that year than any other. Yet, somehow, it all fell apart. We lost touch the summer after graduation when I went to South America to work for National Geographic. When I came back, you were gone. A part of me still wonders if I pushed you too hard after the wedding… I didn’t see you again until a month ago. It was a Wednesday. You were rocking back on your heels, balancing on that thick yellow line that runs along the subway platform, waiting for the F train. I didn’t know it was you until it was too late, and then you were gone. Again. You said my name; I saw it on your lips. I tried to will the train to stop, just so I could say hello. After seeing you, all of the youthful feelings and memories came flooding back to me, and now I’ve spent the better part of a month wondering what your life is like. I might be totally out of my mind, but would you like to get a drink with me and catch up on the last decade and a half? M

Book Description
Ghar Vapsi reflects the journey of migrants, how their changing desires impact's on mindset. In order to balance the social/economical/financial status, there is huge movement of people is happening all around. With this story, I wanted to touch the short as well as long term challenges faced by immigrants while settling in their new home. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Solution, solution, and solution everywhere. Just look around you. We all are surrounded by millions of products that claim to make our life easier, more comfortable, and more Luxurious. But Remember, when our chosen solution is not the real root cause of our problem, they may delay or temporarily resolve the issue. Still, it will return in a different form but with brutal impact and from various dimensions. Simply our chosen temporary and instant solutions make our problems more complex. Unfortunately, we have created a system where when one doesn't get exploited, others can't survive. We all are stuck in our own intelligence in a vicious cycle. Initially, we thought that exploiting these inferior/underdeveloped people could make our own comfortable and cozy castle. And protect ourselves by making the walls stronger and high enough that these deficient/underdeveloped people couldn't even cross. With these thoughts, humans keep increasing one charge at one side of the wall, but humungous, they forget the fundamental law of nature. The intensity by which you collect a positive charge on one side will automatically generate a negative charge on the other side of the wall. Nature always works on the tendency to be Neutral. Ultimately, with this approach to development, the destiny of destruction is set up by the most developed species!!!!
