Last week my new friend and fellow speaker, Martinus Evans (@300lbsandrunnin) flew to #Dallas for a speaking engagement and we synced up before his event. ✅⁣
⁣
Martinus has an incredible story 🤯 here's how he tells it:⁣
⁣
"In July 2012, I weighed approximately 360-370 pounds (I don’t know the exact weight because all the scales I encountered stop working at 350 lbs.). One day I walked into work and felt a sharp pain in my hip (the pain literally brought tears to my eyes). I went to my primary care doctor and he recommended that I go to physical therapy. After 20 or so weeks of therapy the pain was still there. So I went to an orthopedic specialist and he said to me, “I know why you’re in pain.” I asked why and he said, “Mr. Evans, it’s because you’re fat and you need to start walking and losing weight.” Feeling angry and embarrassed that the doctor called me “Fat”, I responded, “Screw walking, I’ll run a marathon.” 🏃🏻👟⁣
⁣
Martinus went on to run eight (8) marathons over 300 pounds on his journey to better health which included the Boston Marathon and New York City Marathon. As a result, he's gained attention in the media and worked with brands such as: Runner's World, LiveStrong, Mizuno and Asics to name a few. 🏆⁣
⁣
I am looking forward to sharing a stage alongside Martinus soon! 🥳
