And I did a ridiculous amount of meth at a very young age. When they found me, I was, you know, emaciated, strung out, like probably hadn't slept in days. I was like, I don't want to feel like this anymore. I'm going in a different direction. The one and only Andy Glaze.

Arguably the most inspiring ultra-endurance athlete in the world. He serves others while juggling his passion for running. I have like a intense fire inside that burns. That's what allows me to do all this crazy stuff from triathlons to ultra running and every flavor because it's all fun.
