00:02All right, let's have you cross your arms.
00:04Look towards me for a second.
00:06Three, two.
00:09The first athlete that I wanted to spend time with was Jim Walmsley.
00:14He's widely considered one of the best ultra runners of all time.
00:18I'm naturally a bit of a recluse, but running has always been a way to connect with people.
00:26An ultra marathon is 100 miles long.
00:30Sometimes climbing more than Mount Everest in Elevation Gate.
00:33Jim's been a game changer in how people approach these races.
00:38You don't just go for a run and become good at it.
00:41I can't help but think to myself, is it physically possible for me to endure an ultra?
00:46Whoa!
00:47I had to get my toenail removed a couple days ago.
00:50I love not having toenails for our races.
00:52Really?
00:52It's better.
00:53Okay.
00:55Running is something that I've carried with me since I was a kid.
00:59We knew right away that you were something.
01:01I didn't live the most normal childhood, which just meant that what my mom couldn't control
01:07in her life, she decided to control me.
01:09You were dealing with a lot of stuff.
01:12You're a survivor.
01:16I've started to realize how beautiful it is just to get to the starting line alone.
01:21Nice and strong!
01:23The fear of failure is what holds so many of us back from attempting to do things we've
01:28never tried.
01:30It's wild to think where I might be in life if I hadn't found running.
01:35And also, how many other athletes' stories started there.
01:45These athletes taught me winning a race is far from the point of running one.
01:50I'm not going to be in life.
01:53I'm not going to be in life.
01:56I'm not going to be in life.
01:57I'm not going to be in life.
01:57Gracias.
