Episode 4 is a conversation with a true renaissance man, Sid Garza-Hillman. Sid is the creator and director of the Mendocino Ultramarathon 50K (www.mendocinoultra.com). I’ve had the absolute joy of running Sid's race from its inaugural year in 2016 and every year since. This year, April 2020, was supposed to be the 5th anniversary of the race. However, due to the Coronavirus public health emergency, Sid had to postpone the event until 2021. We'll talk more about that cancellation and its impact on the local community. But besides organizing an ultramarathon, Sid is an extremely interesting person. He is a nutritionist, small steps coach, podcaster (What Sid Thinks) and book author (find him on Amazon). We’ll learn about each of these facets of Sid’s life, while also learning more about his running journey.
