EverymanTriathlon.com Endurance Show|Show # 37: Paul Martin on running Boston Episode
Paul Martinis very successful triathlete, runner, cyclist and now father.
He's raced most of the races that many of us dream of racing and his done it by overcoming a huge hurdle. But I'll let him explain in his own words:
"Like many of you, I was not always so sure of how I would live my life, how I would pay the bills, what type of occupation I would have. I’ve been on many courses, the latest of which brings contentment and comfort. Which is a real degree of success no matter how you slice it.
On December 12, 1992, I survived a car accident of my own creation: I had a couple of beers at dinner and fell asleep at the wheel on the way home. This changed my life, quite unexpectedly, for the better. I’m an athlete again; better than I used to be. I have been given the opportunity to share my story and motivate others.
I’d like you all to know why it is I do what I do. I compete in triathlon, cycling and running events for two very simple reasons: I enjoy it and because the opportunity is there. I speak to groups of all sorts and sizes across the country because I truly believe that what I have to say needs to be heard, and - with honesty as a platform in my life - because speaking has become a wonderful occupation!
This platform I refer to is itself quite simple. I believe in and live by the motto “do what you love, love what you do.”
