Caught ogling her Royal Assets … pretty funny.
Can’t wait to read this book!
Chrissie Wellington is a four-time World Ironman champion. She won her fourth title in 2011 after sustaining serious injuries two weeks before the race. Her autobiography, “A Life Without Limits,” is set to be released Thursday in the UK. It will come out in the United States on May 15.
But how does one develop that strength? Is it innate, or can it be learned?

U.S. Olympic swimmer Matt Grevers proposed to his swimmer girlfriend (Annie Chandler) on the podium … stinking adorable.
This has to be the coolest kid ever - instead of wanting the typical trip to Disney World or to meet Justin Bieber, he asked Make-A-Wish to blow up a building.
This is a great article that also ties in one of my favorite movies, It’s a Wonderful Life. Hopefully it’ll get you thinking in the bigger picture of Christmas!
This story is unbelievably moving, and I highly recommend that you take a few minutes to not only read it, but think about how you treat forgiveness in your life. Sorry to be a little on the preachy side, but this was just too good not to share.
Would you forgive the bully that tripped you in 3rd grade? What about the terrible service from that lazy waitress? Or the guy who cut you off on the interstate? What about the man who murdered your children? If he asked you for forgiveness, would you grant it? Would you agree to spend time with him – maybe one day call him your friend? That’s what some in Rwanda are doing: Forgiving and reconciling with murderers who killed their children, friends, siblings and parents during the 1994 Rwandan genocide.
There is something about pretty white girls, bloody knives and the slightest whiff of sex that gets the international news machine humming like nothing else. All three factors merged explosively Monday in a crowded appeals court in Perugia, Italy. There, before several hundred journalists and other spectators, American college student Amanda Knox, 24, was cleared of murdering her study-abroad roommate, Meredith Kercher, in a sexually-motivated crime four years ago. Already, feature film rights to Knox’s story are flying, and book publishers, too, are salivating…
Here are four other women in American history whose sensational murder and assault trials became, much like Knox’s, vehicles for serving our most base collective appetites, sometimes spawning whole industries unto themselves and often reflecting larger cultural battles.
1. Alice Mitchell: “Girl Slays Girl”
2. Lizzie Borden: The Girl of Forty Whacks
3. Patty Hearst: Good Girl Gone Armed
4. Casey Anthony: Murderous “Tot Mom
“There was an audible gasp outside the courthouse when the verdict was read in court.”
Wow.
