We had a great time talking to Michael about his love for running and going after the 100 mile distance. If you talk to Michael you can see the happiness all over his face, he truly love being in the mountains and has a deep passion for what he does. As Michael says- "More is better." When you see him on the trail, expect a high five or a big hug. What Michael brings to the trails is definitely contagious. Good Luck with 2025 and we can't wait to see what's next!
