Nowhere Near First

Ultramarathon Adventures From the Back of the Pack

  • 1 Want to read

"Long before Cory Reese strapped on his first pair of running shoes, he learned the key to being a successful ultrarunner: he knew how to suffer. In Nowhere Near First, Cory shares his deeply personal story about experiencing his father's suicide at a young age, and how this experience led to a career in endurance running and a desire to live life to the fullest. Nowhere Near First is a humorous, captivating, and uplifting account of Cory's memorable ultramarathon experiences. Not only does Cory's entertaining and powerful writing allow readers a unique perspective into the challenges and rewards of running, but it also inspires each of us to turn tragedy into triumph."--Back cover.
