Synopsis
"If you can dream it, it can happen."  " In this heartening book, Boston Marathon race director and motivational speaker David McGillivray shares the challenges he has overcome to inspire readers to similar triumphs in their own lives."  Always the last pick for team sports because of his small stature, David McGillivray drove himself to excel at individual sports.  Whe he was 16, he set himself up for the one "failure" that would motivate the rest of his life.  He attempted to run in his first Boston Marathon - without training for the event.  Not crossing the finish line could have been a crushing blow.  Instead he went on to complete 115 marathons and eventually to become the Boston Marathon's race director.    At age 23, McGillivray completed his celebrated 3,452-mile run across the United States to raise money for cancer research.  The story of his journey and what he learned about himself will give all readers a new understanding of how to prepare for and achieve success.  McGillivray's many accomplishments will convince readers that virtually any goal is possible.  This book will motivate them to overcome the mental obstacles that often keep dreams from becoming reality.     , In this inspirational challenge to readers, the race director for the Boston Marathon tells the story of his run across the United States to raise money for cancer research. 8-page photo insert., "If you can dream it, it can happen."

    I cannot say enough about this seller. It was my first purchase with the seller and it was a relatively inexpensive magazine. Yet, the seller was very responsive to my multiple questions on price and quality. The magazine was in perfect condition and was very reasonably priced. After I purchased it, the seller mailed it right away. The magazine was in perfect condition as represented and was expertly packaged. I cannot wait to do business with her again.

    Lovely experience: the book was in better condition than described, and packaged nicely in both a plastic sleeve and a slim cardboard box inside an envelope. Arrived quickly too. I also appreciate the listing having photos of the actual book rather than stock photos. Thank you very much. I would buy from this seller again.
