When life turns up the heat, you have two choices. You can bend and break, or you can step boldly into the furnace and let your soul catch fire.

Into The Furnace explores the inner workings of bravery, hope, and passion. These themes are framed against the backdrop of the Badwater Ultramarathon - a 135-mile race across the hottest place on the planet, Death Valley. Cory Reese has walked into the furnace. He has faced adversity, both in running and in life. His book captures the essence of what it means to suffer, what it means to persevere, and ultimately, what it means to create a life of clarity and purpose.

I listened to this book in sequence to Cory's first book : "Nowhere Near First - Ultramarathon Adventures from the Back of the Pack". He makes reference to running this grueling 135-mile race from Death Valley's Badwater up to Mount Whitney in blazing heat - from pre-race application, preparation and then the grisly business of actually doing the run ! His accounts are so good you feel you are in his support van and at times running along beside him. Truly a book about the agonies and ecstasies of taking on the challenge of what has been described as the toughest ultra marathon in the world.
After you've listened to Cory's account - his struggles and his humility - you'll feel you know him as the delightful person he is who loves running, loves challenges and loves the people he meets on his journey.

Superbly satisfying second book
