Marc Bloom’s Amazing Racers: The Story of America's Greatest Running Team and Its Revolutionary Coach (Pegasus) is the inspiring, untold story about a group of remarkable athletes and their groundbreaking coach who live and train in startling ways – and are redefining running excellence in the United States. Everything Coach Bill Aris does with his runners – male and female alike – is new and extraordinary, and he has created a new American running dynasty. From adopting long-forgotten “Stotan” creeds – combining the rigors of a Spartan and stoic lifestyle – to delving into teenage developmental psychology and gender-blindness in training, Amazing Racers is a must-read for millions of runners and the millions more who strive for better performance.

Friending: Creating Meaningful, Lasting Adult Friendships

Powell's City of Books 1005 W Burnside Street, Portland

Friendship is one of the most important, yet most underrated necessities of life. But making and keeping friends becomes increasingly difficult when we become adults with busy careers, family responsibilities, and dispersed locations. Keeping in touch through social media isn't fulfilling. Developing true, deep, lasting bonds of friendship is. In Gina Handley Schmitt’s Friending: Creating Meaningful, Lasting Adult Friendships (Microcosm), you'll learn how to choose and make friends, support them and let them support you, maintain friendships even when your life paths diverge, repair friendships after a conflict, decide to break up a friendship, and much more.
