A few days before Doug Limbrick is to run a marathon he receives a diagnosis of colorectal cancer. The large mass has been there for some time and must be removed at once. What a shock for a healthy, fit man who hasnt had a sick day from work in twenty years and has been a runner for thirty. In his memoir, the author shares what it is like to have major surgery that impacts him both physically and psychologically. Six months of chemotherapy and five weeks of radiotherapy bring complications. Yet Doug returns to running during chemotherapy in an attempt to regain some fitness and distract himself from the side effects of weeks of continuous infusions. He runs while carrying a black box that delivers the chemotherapy drugs through a tube in his chest at predetermined intervals. Living through more surgery and complications from septicemia and pneumonia, he leaves the hospital after two months weighing 115 pounds (52 kilograms). The long process of rehabilitation begins, with the help of some very good friends. Doug raises some important questions. Why did he get cancer? Why did he survive? And what did he learn? The final chapter looks at life after cancer and the lessons Doug gleaned from his illness and recovery.

Within all of us, there is a passion to find what it takes to have happiness in life. But life is full of surprises, contradictions and disappointments that don't fit neatly into the way we think it's "supposed to be." Instead of experiencing the happily-ever-after version of life, some people find struggles that result in unanticipated, unwanted outcomes. How can we cope with hurts, dismay, fears and injustices we believe are not supposed to be? Relating profound lessons woven through anecdotes of happiness and misfortune; family, military and career life; illness and death; as well as ordinary surroundings on ordinary days, the authors of Gift-wrapped Lessons of Life share truths they learned about the way things are "supposed to be."

Since the 1970s, millions of Americans have raised billions of dollars for nonprofit organizations through philanthropic fitness events. In 2013, 27 of the 30 largest charity events netted nearly $1.7 billion for health-related nonprofits. Two central questions guide this work: How do those who run marathons and raise funds for breast cancer make sense of their participation?; and To what extent do the notions of a moral citizen and philanthropy shape the meanings that they make of philanthropic fitness events? This work utilizes a year of interviews with nine women who ran the 26.2 with Donna: The National Marathon to Finish Breast Cancer in Jacksonville, Florida, in 2012 and/or 2013. I also conducted participant observation, running the marathon in 2013, and nonparticipant observation from the sidelines in 2012. My project examines the changing cultural context of the marathon and the meanings of consumerism, fitness, giving, morality, and breast cancer as a source of social connection. It also examines participants' skepticism toward both health-related nonprofit organizations and their financial status. The result is a more nuanced explanation regarding individuals' choices to participate in endurance-length philanthropic fitness events. The marathon is important to these runners' relationships with breast cancer-breast cancer the disease, breast cancer the concept, breast cancer the identity. This project finds that besides simply finding a community of like-minded individuals at a race, the healing element of the 26.2 with Donna is key to the formation of personal connections to the race that create long-term marathoner-fundraisers. The runners experience the 26.2 with Donna inside a perfect "pink bubble" of women's culture that surrounds the race and co-opts its participants. That space is overlain with notions of an imagined sisterhood based on individual and communal improvement through the consumption of pink-ribboned products.

What we do when confronted with horrific news defines who we are and what we will be from that moment forward. Consequently, what would you do if an oncologist tells you that you have leukemia and a five-to-seven year life expectancy? To make things worse, he tells you to give up your passion (running marathons) for fear of shortening your life expectancy. This is what happened to Dr. Fields in January 2008. Yet, he refused to let leukemia deprive him of his passion. What he did next, made his diagnosis only life changing instead of life shattering. In February 2009, he set a goal to complete a marathon in every state and DC by the end of December 2012 -- 51 marathons in 47 months. Along the way, he hoped to qualify again for the Boston Marathon. Join Dr. Fields as he attempts to reach his goal in spite of leukemia, cancer related fatigue, chemotherapy, and chemotherapy induced myelodysplasia (failure of the bone marrow to produce sufficient red and white blood cells). Interwoven are stories of his travels, loves, losses, and humorous childhood memories.

A cancer survivor, an Ironman Triathlete, and widely decorated marathoner, Ruth Heidrich has long been been a role model to athletes of all ages. But over the years even Ruth herself has encountered the various, commonly held misbeliefs about running, from "women shouldn't run" to "you need to change your diet to run," that prevent people from lacing up their shoes and getting off the couch. In this user-friendly guide, Ruth Heidrich debunks those myths and many more while providing the motivation, inspiration, and resources to start or maintain an activity whose benefits will last a lifetime. Along the way, Martin Rowe offers up practical advice as well as a look into running's storied history. You'll find out why there's no perfect body type for a runner, how to measure your fitness level relative to your age, and how the modern marathon came to be. Accessible and informative, Lifelong Running shows that it's possible to run well into your seventies--and beyond. "If longevity and good health are what you're after, Ruth Heidrich has the recipe for them. Her story will not only inspire you, but follow her prescription and you might just get an extra decade of good living out of it." --Kathy Freston, New York Times bestselling author of Quantum Wellness, Veganist, and The Lean "Ruth Heidrich is an inspiration to so many people. Her persistence, her commitment to fitness, her use of the healthiest food, and her consciousness of what could be a bright future for all of us make this book a must read." -- T. Colin Campbell, Ph.D., Professor Emeritus of Nutrition, Cornell University, New York Times bestselling co-author of The China Study and author of Whole "If you've ever wondered whether running might create more joy and vibrant health in your life, this is the book you need to read. Ruth Heidrich most definitely knows what she's talking about. She's a cancer thriver (not just survivor) who has, since her diagnosis, completed nearly a hundred triathlons and more than sixty-six marathons. And this marvelous book also features the voice of Martin Rowe, a fascinating writer who is a former (and still is at times) couch potato, and as such relates very well to those of us who are, for whatever reasons, reluctant to run. Whether you are new to running, or have some experience with the sport, you'll find this extraordinary book to be reassuring, informative, and inspiring." --John Robbins, author of Diet for a New America and co-founder of the Food Revolution Network "I've been moving a lot faster--and happily so--since reading Lifelong Running. This book changed my perception. For one thing, I notice that kids really do run everywhere, and smile while they are doing so. Plus I am looking at running in a new way, as something I can do and want to try. Ruth Heidrich ably shreds the myths that keep people from running at all ages, but especially once their twenties are a memory. She shares her health challenges, exhilaration in moving and exploring, and pleasure in her simple plant-based diet. Her inspiring adventures are complemented by Martin Rowe's account of his journey as a runner and insights into the world of this sport. This book can lead the way to health transformation through a running program at any age, fueled by the optimal plant-powered diet." --Janice Stanger, Ph.D., author of The Perfect Formula Diet "Ruth's life and writing are an inspiration to millions. This book is yet another gift from her that will get your body moving in ways that will put a smile on your face for the rest of your life." --Mike Anderson, author of The RAVE Diet & Lifestyle

Denise's running shoes never got dusty. After her diagnosis, she kept racing - winning medals in everything from 5Ks to marathons - while cherishing every moment with family and friends, and inspiring everyone along the way. "We vow to run our best, to splash in the stream, to raise our hands in the air and run recklessly down the hills, to lift those we see who have fallen on the path, to tickle our little runners, to teach them all we know, and to hold hands all the way home."
