Local Legend #2 - Chad Salyer

Trail Mix is now a weekly endeavor! We're switching from every two weeks to every Wednesday to bring our listeners more of the content they have been asking for. In this episode of Trail Mix, Nick and Steven sit and share some time with Chad Salyer, an ultra runner from the DFW area of Texas. We talk with Chad about finding running when life threw some changes his way, and how he uses a purpose bigger than himself to push through when the going gets tough.
