Overview

When Anthony L. Copeland-Parker and his partner Catherine were in their fifties, they learned that he needed a heart-valve replacement, and she had early-onset Alzheimer's. Their past experience as endurance athletes lead them to react accordingly-to sell their home, retire from their jobs, and become nomads, running marathons and half-marathons all over the world. Anthony L. Copeland-Parker's Running All Over the World began as a blog written during his travels, a nonfiction account of his five-plus years of flying, running, walking, sailing, and sightseeing with his partner Catherine-from Atlanta to Antarctica and back again. Part travelogue and part medical memoir, Anthony's writing transports readers to exotic places like Madagascar, Bhutan, and the Great Wall of China while providing a look at the day-to-day realities of living out of a suitcase. Running All Over the World is an offbeat story about life and love, recounting the trials and tribulations of an ex-pilot with a passion for vistas and logistics and a woman so tough she walks a half-marathon in the Australian Outback mere weeks after breaking her ankle. During their years as nomads, Anthony and Catherine tested the physical and mental limits of their bodies and finished every race hand in hand.

Author Information

My name is Anthony L. Copeland-Parker, and I was a professional pilot/manager for 37 years, the last 27 with United Parcel Service. My last job had me managing pilots and flying B757/767 type aircraft all over the world. When I retired, I began writing my blog RunningwithCat.com. Since then, Catherine and I traveled to 82 different countries. We ran at least a half marathon in 35 countries and on all 7 continents. I have run 66 marathons and many other races, including a 50-miler at age 50 and the Iron Man triathlon.
