You're Almost There is a collection of essays from a 17-year goal to run a marathon in all 50 states. Through the eyes of Paul Mellor, you'll not only triumph by completing marathons, but also by witnessing the beauty of America and its people.With over 150 photos and first-hand accounts from people he's met along the course, Paul Mellor gives you emotions of every kind. You'll feel tall standing atop Pikes Peak in Colorado and feel tiny standing below Montana's big sky. You'll feel patriotic raising your head to see four faces in South Dakota and feel sadness lowering your head to see 168 chairs in Oklahoma. When the author signed up to run his first marathon, he never expected what the event would give him. Granted, each marathon put up a wall, but also gave him a new view once he climbed over it.You're Almost There is not only a book for runners, but also for those who yearn to travel and for those who love this country.As the author meets people in all 50 states, he soon realizes they're no different than family. They cheer for you, clap their hands, and shout, You're Almost There.
