If this is *actually* Sage Canaday the runner, then mad props. I have followed you recently on these boards and am inspired by your story. You had to grind to make it. I had to work as a journalist making nearly as little as you did for years before I got smart and got out of there.
I'm training for a 'thon--that's hard enough--and trail running/ultras seem even beyond my ability. I did a 17-miler today that felt easy, which means I'm finally getting into shape lol.
