019: Chasing the Challenge & The Coolest Awards-Aaron Saft

This weekend, Aaron Saft will be continuing his quest to accomplish the Grand Slam of 100 milers...four 100's within just a few months. Insanity, but incredible. He already has two under his belt, and the Leadville 100 is his next one. So, let's be praying for him and cheering him on! Aaron seeks out challenges to grow, to learn, and to attempt the difficult and seemingly impossible. And if it comes with an epic trophy or award, that seals the deal. Aaron is one of those guys that you want to know because he exudes joy, contentment, humility and encouragement. Aaron has so many accomplishments, so many wins, so many podium spots, so many accolades that I can't even begin to rattle them off. What I do know is that he fiercely loves his family, he loves to run, he loves to coach, and he loves to give back. If you know him, then you agree. I was able to hear how he started running, the influence that great coaches had in his life, his experience running for North Carolina State University, opening the FootRX running store, winning the USATF Trail Marathon, representing Team USA, his experiences at Hardrock 100 and UTMB, his experience running the Bigfoot 200, and so much more. Actually, I am not even close to diving into all I want to know, so after he accomplishes the Grand Slam, he will be back on the podcast for Part II. Shoot me a message on Instagram (@facingvert) if you have any questions for him that you want to know in my next episode with him!

Check out Aaron's podcast when you can, as he has over 180 awesome episodes out there for the world to hear. He is an inspiration!
