With vivid detail and a dry wit, Don Kern relives his pursuit of the world record for running a marathon on all 7 continents. The globetrotting journey includes flight delays, rare Antarctic blizzards, and competitors on his heels. Along the way, the self-described “average guy” will look to convince other normal people that one needn’t be a gifted, super star athlete to accomplish amazing things. With a little hard work, determination, and a great attitude, anyone can move beyond the ordinary and do things like running at the South Pole, climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, or even setting a world record.
