About the Author
Hi, I’m Tony
This book is a nonfiction account of our six years of flying, running, walking, sailing, and sightseeing from Atlanta to Antarctica. We found joy in seizing each day and following our passions for running and travel.
Since we began this journey, we’ve traveled to eighty-two different countries and have run at least a half-marathon in thirty-five countries and on all seven continents.
