Today is day 186 of my streak, I'm 52 got sober on June 30th 2008 went vegan Nov. 22nd 2016 started road cycling aug. 2017 and seriously running and triathlon in spring of 2019. One of my biggest inspirations was your book "Finding Ultra" that a friend gave me back in 2015. I found Hellah last year and was watching him for a while before I learned he was vegan, pleasant surprise:)

The phrase that stuck with me from this calming soul..."Ten minutes a day, no matter the circumstances." That meditation can be connected to every goal in all aspects of life.
