Regular Guy/Ultra Runner

I met Wade while running a race in Alabama. We just happened to be running at the same pace and struck up a conversation. Wade claims to not be very interesting. However I disagree. One of the first things Wade said to me was that he is clumsy while running. I did not really know what he meant until a few minutes later when he was laying on the deck. Wade is a normal guy with a wife, 2 kids and a Job. Only difference between him and every other normal guy is that Wade runs Ultra Marathons. Oh and his best friend is a garden gnome named Norm.

To date, Wade has over 40 ultra's under his belt. Speaking of belt's Wade's belts are held together by a 100 mile buckle from the Rocky Raccoon 100 miles race.

Wade and I got into a number of interesting topics. Everything from his adoption, being a musician, being a good student, how he found running. We talk about snakes on the trail, broken legs and riding unicorns to the finish line. 

This is actually the second take of an interview with Wade. Early on in trying to get interviews Wade and I hoped on a skype session but I did not have  a handle on my recording equipment yet and it sounded terrible. Wade was super cool and gave me a second try. I appreciate that. He was also motivated for a second take also. He felt because of listening to other episodes that he wanted to get at least 1 F bomb in... He did... Barely.
