In the late summer of 2016, the X-Men gather at St. Francis Xavier University. From talented but inexperienced seventeen-year-olds, to elite fourth and fifth- year medal holders, revered Coach Bernie Chisholm has assembled a team of cross country runners determined to become the first in St. FX history to win a national championship. But college is college, and there are also parties to survive, video games to triumph in, and running jokes that will cost more than one X-Man a chunk or two of an eyebrow. Over the next three months, focus intensifies and the X-Men punish their bodies in the pursuit of precious fitness gains, redeemable only on the Plains of Abraham on judgment day, the Canadian Nationals: November 12th. As challenges continue to mount, the runners of St. FX endure grueling practices, time trials, and cuts to determine which seven men will represent the team at nationals. Competition creates a power struggle between the runners – and best friends – that threatens to undermine the strength of the team. Meanwhile, other obstacles inherent to intense, college-level distance running continue to mount; injury, burnout, and the perhaps impossible balancing of athletics, social life, and academics. From the vivid perspective of someone who lived it in all its exhausting, exhilarating, and sometimes crushing ups and downs, Runners of the Nish explores how a group of disparate young men learn to use a common goal to become the most powerful versions of themselves on the cross-country course and beyond. And through it all, the question looms larger and larger, will any of it be enough for the St. FX Blue and White to find glory on the Plains of Abraham?

Why are so many people drawn to running? Why is running the most common physical activity? What is it about running that empowers so many people? And how can runners harness that power to create a more meaningful life? The Inner Runner addresses these questions and a whole lot more.

Learn about the psychological, emotional, cognitive, and spiritual benefits of running and introduce lifestyle changes based on the latest scientific research on running and its effects on hormones and the brain. As a nationally recognized running and fitness coach with a PhD in Exercise Physiology, Jason Karp brings his expertise in science-based coaching to runners of all levels. He believes that running gives you a chance to discover, challenge, and bring out the best in yourself by impacting your creativity, focus, imagination, confidence, and health.

Starting in May of 1979 Kevin Boyle set off on six-decade journey to see the world on foot, 26 miles at a time. This whimsical book tells the tale of this journey highlighting races along the way, as well as offering tips to both first time runners as well as experienced marathoners. Focusing on one marathon per decade, the author not only provides amusing anecdotes of both the training and actual races, he offers an in depth analysis of how the marathon has changed over the years. From his Dad passing him a can of coke at mile marker 20 in 1979 for hydration, to today’s high tech hydration systems he traces this and other changes in the event. He also recounts experiencing the lows in the marathon to include running in the 2013 Boston Marathon marred by bombings. Spanning six decades this book appeals to high school runners, collegiate runners, recreational runners and masters runners. Always stressing positive mental attitude and flexibility, this book will leave the reader laughing while at the same time feeling ready to take on the challenge of their first, or next, race.

“Linda Carrier’s book tells an amazing story. No, it’s more than amazing. It is nearly unbelievable. Hers is a life and a book of challenges met and odds beaten. It’s a story about a marathon of marathons, but it’s much more than that. It’s a story of what the human spirit can achieve. I’m fascinated, entertained, educated, and inspired—all in one book! Read it.” —Dr. John Dempsey, President, Sandhills Community College Linda Carrier has never let her type 1 diabetes diagnosis keep her from living an exciting and fulfilled life. In fact, for over forty-five years, she’s ran numerous marathons to not only control her diabetes but to see the world. In Outrunning Diabetes, Linda recalls how she got into the World Marathon Majors–a prestigious championship-style competition—her feelings throughout each race, and how she tackled the World Marathon Challenge twice. Join her as she is faced with the most strenuous event yet: seven marathons on seven continents in seven days. From Antarctica to Africa, Australia to Asia, Europe to South America, and finally completing the race in North America, Linda shows us that diabetes does not define you—it is simply what you have. Told with grit and determination and filled with marathon plans and preparations, this book will move you—in more ways than one.

Shawanadese was the name bestowed on her when she was born into the prehistoric Anasazi tribe. Her fate seemed much like that of any other young girl until her magical powers began to erupt at the dawning of womanhood. It was then that a sacred name--Coyote Woman--was granted to her, a name that would come to identify her as a high priestess and draw the lustful and the faithful to her side. No one could have imagined the mystical charms of the high priestess, and nobody could have expected the force of attraction that would draw many men into her life. Shawanadese ignited a passion within the Mayan prince, the fiery rebel and the young warrior, and she engages in an epic struggle to defeat the sinister ways of man while maintaining her authority as the high priestess in the canyon of Chaco.

The authors of Run Like a Mother share a collection of inspiring and insightful stories from women who discovered their own power through running. Every mother runner has a tale to tell. A story about how she discovered the fierce and confident athlete inside her. Maybe it’s about setting a seemingly impossible goal—and then exceeding it. Maybe it’s about finding friends who are also allies, cheerleaders, and reality checks. Or maybe it's just a simple story of starting the day off with an endorphin rush. In Mother Runners, elite runners Dimity McDowell and Sarah Bowen Shea share not only their own stories of personal triumph on the pavement but also inspiring stories from the mother runner community. Through the common theme of running, these women explore issues from losing weight and gaining confidence to finding yourself, connecting with friends, setting goals, dealing with disappointment, and building a better you. Whether you've run more marathons than you can remember, or you're just getting started, you'll find the inspiration you need to get out there, keep pushing, and run like a mother.

After ten years of servitude, Nish is still held in the blackest dungeon of the maimed God-Emperor, his corrupt father. With the sorcerous quicksilver tears, Gatherer and Reaper, the God-Emperor controls all magic and is remaking the world in his depraved image. Now he wants Nish to be his lieutenant, to become as foul as he is. But the malevolent God-Emperor executed the only woman Nish has ever loved and, even faced with another decade in prison, he cannot serve his father. Santhenar’s only hope of freedom now rests on shy, bookish Maelys, who has been given a shameful duty by her overbearing aunts. Maelys’ gift will allow her to reach Nish’s dungeon unseen, but how can she get him out past the all-seeing gaze of Gatherer and Reaper? And even if she does, how can a friendless renegade with no magic take on the most powerful tyrant the world has ever seen? You won’t want to miss this ‘unflaggingly inventive’ fantasy series by million-selling author Ian Irvine. What reviewers say about the Three Worlds books “A compelling adventure in a landscape full of wonders.” – Locus “A page-turner of the highest order … Formidable!” – SFX on Geomancer “It is the most engrossing book I’ve read in years.” – Van Ikin, Sydney Morning Herald “Readers of Eddings, Goodkind and Jordan will lap this one up.” – Starlog “Utterly absorbing.” Stephen Davenport, Independent Weekly “For sheer excitement, there’s just no one like Irvine.” SFX on The Destiny of the Dead “As good as anything I have read in the fantasy genre.” – Adelaide Advertiser Reviews of The Song of the Tearstrilogy “Hang on with both hands, because this story waits for no one.” Sandy Auden, SFX on The Fate of the Fallen. “The final payoff is fantastic. The most unflaggingly inventive storyteller we’ve seen in years.” Sydney Morning Herald on The Destiny of the Dead “This precise and beautifully crafted novel blooms from its ascetic opening to a resonant and rewarding climax. Makes what’s currently available on fantasy shelves seem hackneyed and formulaic. Utterly absorbing.” Stephen Davenport, Independent Weekly “Unbelievably, Irvine has managed to increase the pace of his story in this third and final volume – for sheer excitement, there’s just no one like Irvine around at the moment.” SFX on The Destiny of the Dead. “Whether you like interesting characters, good description or a well thought out world, this book is bound to impress you.” – Nicole Juliette, Dreamhosters.com "Another blockbuster fantasy series."

Part sport and part exercise, running boosts health, longevity, and mental well-being. However, running is a demanding activity that can potentially tax the runner's body and mind. Therefore, possessing durability for running--a fusion of toughness and flexibility--is desirable to enhance a runner's physical and mental experience. This book--the first of its kind to combine corrective exercise, self-myofascial release, and yoga--empowers runners with measures to avoid unnecessary pain, injury, and burnout. It is a comprehensive guide to creating a simple and efficient system of personalized supplemental training in which runners learn to identify and address areas of imbalance and overuse. These training methods increase strength, stability, mobility, and resiliency, and require as little as 15 minutes per day to implement. (For each technique, the author has produced a video, and live links are included in the enhanced ebook edition.) Runners can decrease the risk of injury, improve running performance, and maintain joint health. The result: a more durable body and mind that will support your running--and your life--for years to come.
