You're either going to get to the finish line or they're taking you out of here on an

ambulance.

That was my commitment.

You're not going to stop until you fall over. I went through hell to get there.

It's called the world's toughest foot race, and it's 135 mile continuous race across Death Valley in the middle of summer.

Can I be the master of my mind? Can I get through this pain? Because it's all perception,

pain's perception, and can I push through it? And I kind of thrive on that.

You've broken through limitations, perceived limitations, you've learned that all limitations are self-constructed.

If you run a marathon, it'll teach you that and it changes your life forever.

I had a cush corporate job, fat paycheck,

and I was miserable.

I walked out of a bar on my 30th birthday

in San Francisco and decided I was going to run 30 miles at night.

I'm just like, fuck it, I'm going to run to Happ room Bay.

Instead of trying to chant a mantra or put your head somewhere else,

instead just be in the moment of time, being the present instant, being the here and now. So. You're going to do. This week on the show we have the ultra marathon runner Dean Carnazis.

This guy is one of the ogies when it comes to ultra marathon running.

In fact one time he ran 50 marathons in 50 different states in the U.S. in 50 days.

And one time, he ran 350 miles straight for 80 hours without sleeping.

This guy just doesn't stop running. In fact, he's inspired me so much.

I think I'm going to run this entire time.

But I had an amazing time talking with Dean in my studio.
