My name is Cory. I am a…well…it's complicated. I am a husband. I am a dad to three teenagers. I am the owner of a Great Dane named Little Debbie who loves nothing more than to steal pizza off the kitchen counter. Wait. There is so much more to me. I am a Kia Sorento driver. A CPAP wearer. A Utah Jazz fan. A child of a father who took his life. An ally. An ex-Mormon. A terrible handyman. A recovering Twinkie addict. A snow hater and a sun lover. A composer of piano music. A believer that good things are coming. I am afraid of needles. Obsessed with Bruce Springsteen. Fierce in my distaste for seafood. Proud of myself for memorizing every line of Planes, Trains, and Automobiles. I am an ultramarathon runner. I've run dozens of 100-mile races. Badwater. Western States. Wasatch. 100 miles around a high school track. 100 miles around the deck of a cruise ship. I've fallen in love with the sense of satisfaction that comes from seeing what I'm capable of, and realizing that it's usually more than I think. I am an author. I've written for a bunch of publications over the years, and am currently a columnist for UltraRunning Magazine. I've written a few books titled Nowhere Near First, and Into the Furnace. My new book is called Stronger Than the Dark, and explores the intimate relationship between running and depression. I want to be like David Sedaris when I grow up. I am a social worker. For two decades, my career has involved walking with people into the darkness, and talking about hard things. My occupation: aspiring beam of light. I know people all around me are fighting silent battles. I have been the one providing therapy, and the one receiving it. I am passionate about advocating for mental health. Wait. There is so much more to me. Those are the labels that define me. But I am more than a list of labels. I am enthusiasm. I am determination. I am broken. I am whole. I am light. I am adventure. I am creativity. I am love. I am enough.Warmly,Nico Barraza@ThatBarrazaBoywww.nicobarraza.com

This week I'm very excited to welcome ultra runner and writer Cory Reese to the podcast. First of all, Cory recently finished running a 100 miler on the deck of a cruse ship! That's 16 laps per mile- 1,600 laps around and around and around the same teeny tiny track, fueling on an endless supply from the ice cream machine as he took on some self-imposed suffering. All the while overlooking people lounging around at the pool. Just had to get that out there! I cannot even begin to wrap my head around a 100 miler, let alone one on a cruise ship.... Insanity! Cory is one of my favorite writers in the sport of ultrarunning. His first book "Nowhere Near First" is one of the absolute best views of this crazy sport from a "regular", non-elite, perspective. Most of us are not elite athletes and Cory fully represents the spirit of why an everyday person participates in something so seemingly bizarre as running for hours and hours through the woods (or on a cruise ship). He comes across as a "regular" dude, but his mindset is anything but. Regular people don't step up to the challenge of Badwater, a 135 mile run through Death Valley in July. Cory did. We get into why and how he took this on a bit in the show. He recently wrote about his experience and all the craziness of Badwater in his upcoming book "Into the Furnace" which you can (and should) pre-order now by checking out his Kickstarter campaign linked below. Cory also has a hilarious blog fastcory.com (which my computer annoyingly wants to correct to "factory") and can be found running on his hometown trails of Zion National Park. Enjoy the show! Thanks for chatting Cory!
