Running the World

Marathon Memoirs from the Seven Continents

Beschreibung

For Melissa Corley Carter, setting lofty goals--and crushing them--has always been the norm. >See this world through Melissa's eyes on her journey as a runner, dreamer, and hardworking free spirit to whom nothing is off limits. Raw, personal photos taken during her races capture the beauty and variety of these diverse landscapes, while her words of determination, struggle, self-reflection, and triumph show how life itself is a marathon too. It may be difficult, full of challenges and hills, but at the crest of those hills, we find rest and peace; that ringing feeling of true success; and the strength to conquer the next challenge we face, and every hill after.
