A bit of a pivot for this week's episode since Mike had his "A race" of the year, the FIT Challenge Survival of the FITtest!

A couple years ago he planned to take on the 30 hour but due to an upcoming wedding, the final and most difficult semester of grad school, and some achilles pain the registration was moved back.

This is the raw and pretty unedited (especially since Audacity gave me issues with the episode and I needed to redo almost everything) journey of me being able to call myself an ultra runner again!  So enjoy a look at the inside of my mind, many mistakes when talking, and a few ultra mistakes too!

Next week we plan to get back to something more interesting but I hope you enjoy this anyway!
