What's up, guys? Welcome back to the three of seven podcasts. I appreciate you joining

a perfect place for you to come. If you want to run your first ultra marathon challenge

yourself to just simply become a better human being or stretch yourself or grow, all the

things that we talk about on this podcast, it's great to listen and to learn through this

platform. But if you don't get out and actually put these things into practice, stretch yourself
