    <![CDATA[One year after her astonishing victory at the Badwater Ultramarathon, Pam Reed again made distance running history when she braved the hottest weather in years135 degreesto successfully defend her title. How does this 100-pound mother and stepmother of five muster the endurance and courage for the 28-hour climb from the hottest desert floor on Earth to the shadow of the continental United States tallest point? In The Extra Mile, we watch this ultramarathon champion seek balance in her life as a wife, mother, athlete, and entrepreneur. With astonishing candor Reed tells of her 15-year battle with anorexia. And she helps us understand her passion for ultrarunningto discover how far the human body can be pushed. The success of Dean Karnazess book, Ultramarathon Man, and Reeds TV appearances have demonstrated the publics fascination with this growing sport. Reeds book will be an inspiration to women everywhere.]]>
