"You love hockey more than you love me!" she complained. "You love those hockey gloves, and shin guards, and skates, and elbow pads more than you love me!
"That's not true!" he said.
"I love you much more than I love my elbow pads."

I am looking for some recomendations on inspirational books about running and extreme sports in general.
I've enjoyed some great books on running:  especially "Confessions of an All-Night Runner" and "Born to Run"
Reading "Once a Runner" now.
Does anyone have any other suggestions for me?
Here is a top-5 list from someone on Amazon:

Has anyone read any of these?

With very short notice, only 4 days in fact, Helene, Magnus and I jumped on a last minute holiday to Bitez (Bodrum) in Turkey. Unfortunately Emil couldn't make it since he was on a "Diamond Extreme" survival trip with the scouts.
With only very little time to research the destination we did not know what to expect - other than sun and warmth, and getting away, which is what we needed as a family.
We had a fantastic time, as I think the photos show! Great scenery, great weather, wonderful... Read full post

I finished my 250 push ups last night right before midnight.  It was tough as we did 41 in class earlier. I did them in sets of 50! By the end my knuckles were beaten up from the last week of the challenge, which started with 225 last Monday.  
For the past few days I used my Gi pants folded in half placed on the wood floor as padding. It helped to slightly relieve the pressure on my knuckles, however it did not change the fact that after finished, it would take a few seconds for me... Read full post

I had really looked forward to finish the season competing in Wasdale Triathlon - arguably the world's hardest half ironman distance race (see description from the race organizer below).
Unfortunately we were hit by the worst possible weather! Torrential rain, flooded roads, potholes covered by water making it dangerous going fast or descending from Hardknott Pass and Wrynose Pass, 70+ mph winds, zero visibility in the mountains.
The 6.30 am race briefing was moved to 7.30 am and we were told... Read full post

In the half time report, the sportscaster said, " Mark Sanchez had a beautiful throw, but threw it to the wrong team!!!"

Wastwater, the Lake District, is where the day begins with a 1.2mile swim in the deepest and coldest lake in the British Isles.Incorporating the fearsome twin passes of Hardknott and Wrynose, covering 56 miles and climbing 7,217 vertical feet, the bike ride is...

Today I logged 140 push ups as part of our Koguma Dojo push up challenge.  It was the first week were everyday the amount was three digits.  The total of five days 650!  I am loving the challenge and seeing the results on my body.
The remain portion it is going to be a steep climb, but I am looking to successfully complete it.
