Ep. 82- Running her 42nd Ultramarathon at 66 Years Old with Miriam Diaz-Gilbert

I had such a great time with my guest on This week’s episode. Miriam Diaz-Gilbert has an outlook on life that I think all of us need to grasp. When something is hard, the “woe is me” mentality never creeps in. She’s a glass half full type of person and someone you want in your life. When death was a close reality, she viewed her pain and overcame the difficulty in such a respectable way. Her life was spared, multiple times, and this one thing is what saved her life and helped her to move on. Tune in, sit back, and enjoy our conversation.
