Anthony L. Copeland-Parker was a professional pilot/manager for thirty-seven years, the last twenty-seven with United Parcel Service. His last job had him managing pilots and flying B757/767-type air- craft all over the world. When he retired, he began writing his blog, RunningwithCat.com. When Anthony and his partner Catherine were in their 50s, they found out that Anthony needed a heart valve replacement, and Catherine had early-onset Alzheimer's. They both have a history as endurance athletes, so the reaction to this news was to sell their home, retire from their jobs, and become nomads, running marathons and half-marathons all over the world. Since then, he and his partner Catherine have traveled to eighty-two different countries. They have run at least a half-marathon in thirty-five countries and on all seven continents. Anthony is also an Author and his new book "Running All over the World", adapted from a blog he wrote during his travels, is a nonfiction account of five-plus years of flying, running, walking, sailing, and sightseeing from Atlanta to Antarctica and back again. Part travelogue and part medical memoir, it transports us to exotic places like Madagascar, Bhutan, and the Great Wall of China while at the same time offering a day-to-day look at what it means to have nothing but what's in your suitcase.
