Overthinking the Marathon is like having me as your partner for a season of training, 17 weeks that culminate in the 2012 Cape Cod Marathon. Some days I talk about the nitty-gritty details, other days, it's about the things that make running interesting and fun, even – no, especially – when it hurts.<br /><br />Amby Burfoot, 1968 Boston Marathon winner and Runner's World editor-at-large, says, "Ray Charbonneau insists he hasn't written a marathon guide, and he's right. Instead, he's loaning himself out as a thoughtful, veteran, and funny training partner. You couldn't find a better one as you get ready for your next 26.2-miler."<br /><br />If you're interested in reading Overthinking the Marathon in order to post something on your blog, do a review, or host an interview, please let me know and I'll send you a digital edition, Kindle, epub (for iBooks, Nook, etc...), or PDF - just let me know what format works for you.<br /><br />The "official" release date is March 1st, in case you want to coordinate any activity with the publication of the book.<br /><br />I hope we can work together on this one. I'm an independent publisher, and I need all the assistance I can get to get the word out. <br /><br />Thanks for your help,<br />Ray Charbonneau<br />Arlington, MA<br />Book info and more:<br />http://www.y42k.com/rcharbonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13285239233522772536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-96105562780699967.post-90714749296819044692012-11-25T13:28:31.553-06:002012-11-25T13:28:31.553-06:00i would really like to see you post some real worl...i would really like to see you post some real world examples of where in its ENTIRE history Christianity has not been a bunch of warped, fear mongering, judgmental, fanatical craziness.<br /><br />read the church fathers.. they use the word love a lot but their actions and their doctrine shows they dont actually love anything but some sick twisted love of fear and torment. I am not kidding or exaggerating. ever read the Shepard of hermes? or the apocalypse of peter? these were the norm for sunday service for thje first 200 years of the church. <br /><br />It is the RARE "follower of jesus" who actually "loves" not the norm.<br /><br />I don't know what Jesus actually taught but if you look at the following that came after him what you have is. Eternal Torment, Judgmental attitudes, love of suffering, self worthlessness, endless daily fear with moments of relief after a good alter call and brow beaten "repentance" or the other side of that.. ludicrous spiritual pride.<br /><br />Christianity only began to be decent once secularism and modern thought FORCED it to. otherwise there would still be people getting beheaded, burnt at the stake for being witches and heretics.<br /><br />After having been a fundamentalist believer and pastor for many years it amazes me now when i read scripture, look at history or the way things are now. It is simply completely absurd. There is page after page of factual errors, and failed promises, and hijacked and hacked together Jewish texts. On top of which is stacked an ideology that is compltely conflicted within itself. so you end up with bipolar love and fear teachings literally side by side.<br /><br />It is no wonder that Christians are so completely mental. the saddest part is.. it is all based on made up and extremely exaggerated oral traditions of the life of a Jewish apocalyptic preacher who lasted one year and was killed.<br /><br />You can not have truth and love based on a pack of lies. and that is the ultimate corrupting factor within Christianity. <br /> <br /> Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10733386506879081638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-96105562780699967.post-37811023719515312912012-11-19T13:31:53.486-06:002012-11-19T13:31:53.486-06:00I think 50 miles is a pretty awesome accomplishmen...I think 50 miles is a pretty awesome accomplishment (though I know it wasn't what you were shooting for).
