Ultra Trail Running and Endurance with Michael Whiteside!

#044 - I love talking to Ultra Runners.  They have such a determination and grit that is hard to describe.  My guest this week, Michael Whiteside, is someone who I would describe as someone with both grit and determination.

Michael is from my home state of Utah and is fairly new on the Ultra Running scene.  Michael has dealt with a tough past, but uses ultra running as another way to battle past addictions and self-doubt.  It was fun talking to Michael about the beauty he sees when he runs and the community of trail runners that make up such a tight knight group.  I also love how much Michael's family and in-laws mean to him and the support they give him.

This episode was inspiring and entertaining.  I really loved getting to know who Michael is a person.  To follow along a little closer to Michael give him a follow on Instagram @michael_dean82 .
