Hi Rich! Thank you for doing this AMA. I have to let you know how much of an incredible inspiration you are to me. 5 years ago at age 24 I weighed 320lbs (I am 5'6). I began to run and lose weight. I dropped 175lbs and later read your book which lead me to want to try my first ultra last year (a 50K). Just a few weeks ago finished my first 50 miler (Mississippi 50). Thank you for jumpstarting this area of my life! My question is how in the world to I transition to a 100 mile race from here? When finishing my 50 miler I just couldn't fathom doing it again. Any advice that you have would be welcome please! *edited for clarification

Have you ever run the Boston Marathon? Has this attack made you want to run it or run it again?

Thank you for the reply! Just reading this is incredibly motivating. I appreciate the advice and am looking forward to continuing to follow your career. Best of luck!

Keep at it! Proud of you.

Thank you! You put a smile on my face.
