To keep you fit and healthy WORLD’s ULTIMATE RUNNING RACES 500 races, 101 countries Compiled by Angela Mudge Harper Collins Publishers Glasgow, 2011
How following the signals changed my life By Bernadette Logue Pinch Me Publishing Auckland, 2012
As a marathon runner, this book is like a precious bible and also a bucket list of runs to do before you die. I have run three of the runs in this book in three different countries. That leaves me with 497 races and 98 countries if I want to tick off each running race listed. There are easy runs like the Broad Street Run in Philadelphia, right up to ultra-marathon runs like the 80km Royal Raid in Mauritius. Each race route is detailed along with a map showing the location and images of runners taking part. The oldest cross-country race in the world is the 12km English National Cross Country Championships in the UK, which was first run in 1876. Then there is the oldest and most famous stair race in the world, up the 1,576 stairs in the Empire State Building in New York.
Achieving your dreams is not a matter of trying harder, working longer, or trying to figure out how to make the seemingly impossible, possible. The clues to how to change our life are right in front of you, according to this first-time Auckland author Bernadette Logue. A dear friend of the author was sick and she followed repeating signals about alternative healing showing up everywhere (radio, conversations, dreams, billboards). Bernadette reluctantly trained as an energy healer, which ended up transforming her own health and happiness and set a new pathway forward. This included a signal to travel to Thailand and facing fears. It also led to quitting her corporate career and to living her dream in the paradise of Waiheke Island.

PINCH ME
Australian natural therapist Margaret Stuart wrote this book to help people understand how their subconscious mind rules their world – that whatever it thinks, it will create, no mater what the conscious mind thinks or believes at the time. She wants readers to discover the secret language of their body so as they do not have to be ill. Although the conscious mind has the power of reason and can decide the best action to take, it is according to this author, the subconscious mind that determines the state of our health. Behind every illness or health problem there is a positive thought or emotion or belief. But while we are trying to overcome our health problem, it is not always easy to see positive.
CLEAN & LEAN DIET COOKBOOK With a 14-day menu plan By James Duigan Kyle Books London, US, 2012 Like the title, this book is clean and lean. Every other page has a beautifully illustrated meal that not only looks good, it is more importantly, healthy! Little tips too, like: “Scallops are a rich source of omega 3, which can also help ease symptoms of premenstrual syndrome” alongside a recipe for White Miso Scallops. A few of the recipes, though, seem a little decadent, like the author’s wedding cake – Chocolate cake with peanut butter frosting – and the Naughty But Nice Cheesecake. I am feeling some of the recipes have too many ingredients and instructions, but then again there are others like the Ultimate Clean & Lean Lettuce Wrap with five ingredients and just two sentences for instructions.
