About Me — Michael Horner

Husband, salesperson, ultra-runner continually pushing himself to be a better version of himself and living an ultra life, a life lived to the full.

An hour after the sun rose at a November 2020 24-Hour Race.

I am a 56 (going on 57) year old who thirteen years ago experienced the worse hell I ever thought a human being could ever live through. After working hard and studying even harder, my wife of almost thirty-five years and I found ourselves in Central Asia broken, angry and depressed with all our hopes and dreams lying on an airport floor as we were escorted by the police of the country we were serving in out the door.

The last thirteen years have been fueled by my friend and mentor’s one sentence comment as he met us at the airport jobless, overweight and out of shape, with no money, suffering from emotional and mental breakdowns and with no desire to hope, dream or even pray for a future. We just wanted it all to end.

“Feel the feelings, seek the truth.” is what he told us that day and this is what has fueled us to not only recover, but to begin living again.

Living an Ultra Life is the brand my wife and I are building together to tell the story of a couple verging on divorce or suicide who because we sought the truth have begun to live again.
