Now, in this captivating story of mind over matter, he shares how he overcame the challenges he faced &#8212 from extensive training to injuries that nearly kept him from the race to running in blazing heat on stones, sand, through rivers, and even up mountains &#8212 and made it to the finish line, stronger and better equipped for what lay ahead."
