We usually focus on the Finish Line; that is where the crowd gathers, that is where medals are awarded. We see crossing the Finish Line as the victory. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut there is a second line: the Starting Line. Sometimes, getting to that line and crossing it is even harder. Once you do, though, life can get pretty amazing. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWilliam Thomas only began running at age 42, and ran his first marathon nine months later. Looking for a new goal, he set out to complete The Marathon Grand Slam: running a marathon on all 7 continents and at the North Pole. In addition to running marathons in the United States, his Grand Slam journey took him to Singapore, France, Brazil, South Africa, Australia, Antarctica, and ultimately, the North Pole. CROSS THE LINES is the story of the multi-year journey that put him onto a very different path from anything he could have imagined before. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCHAPTER 1: The Starting Line\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER 2: 26.2 Lessons From Running Marathons\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER 3: North America -- Marine Corps Marathon\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER 4: Asia -- Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER 5: Europe -- Paris Marathon\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER 6: South America -- Rio de Janeiro Marathon\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER 7: Africa -- Cape Town Marathon\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER 8: Australia -- Blackmore's Sydney Marathon\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER 9: Antarctica -- Antarctic Ice Marathon\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER 10: North Pole -- North Pole Marathon\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER 11: No Finish Line In Sight\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e William Thomas\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0998216801\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780998216805\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e DL Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/14\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 190\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.63lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.44d","brand":"William Thomas","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44120639471871,"sku":"9780998216805","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0ed0464c-56d3-4d7b-9a57-ea8de9ced92d.jpg?v=1687415453","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/cross-the-lines-william-thomas-9780998216805","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
