Finding your passion isn't easy. Our whole lives, people and society are telling us what we should care about. Go to school. Get a good job. Buy a house. But do any of these give us passion or peace? Andrew had just finished college and his soccer career, and he felt lost. On a whim, a friend asked if he wanted to run a triathlon with him. He accepted. During training, he realized he performed exceptionally well at running and also thoroughly enjoyed it. He'd found both passion and peace in running. Listen to today's episode to hear all the details about how Andrew found running, the passion and peace it brought his life, AND... the magical story of Andrew's first 50-mile ultramarathon.

And stick around to the end to hear about his progression from a 50-mile ultramarathon to a 100-mile ultramarathon.
