From Drinking Every Morning to Running 340 Miles: Tommie Runz on Recovery, Running & Redemption

I don't know when the morning drinking started, but that was sh standard. And I'm just like, I'm gonna die like this. Like this is how I die. He's sober. He's an accomplished runner. He's making a positive impact on the world. Prepare to be inspired because today you're gonna hear the experience, strength, and hope of Tommy Rons. Seventeen years old, senior year, I think it was, ran out of the classroom. And then like passed up.

All of a sudden I'm drinking every day for two weeks. the most accelerated case of alcoholism I've ever heard. The meetings saved my life. There wouldn't be any running if I didn't get sober. I did Osaka marathon seven days before Tokyo. Six or seven marathons in a year. The speed project from LA to Las Vegas, three hundred and forty miles. How do you continue? And how do you make that decision for yourself, even though like everything's telling you to stop?

So how do you do that? Um All right, Tommy, before we even get into it. Dan over here dug into the archives and I want to share something with you.
