About Me

Gerard Martinez: San Antonio, Texas, United States; I am a law school student and ultrarunner from San Antonio, Texas. Running has helped change my life, and I have lost over 180 pounds since I picked it up in 2008. I believe in the power of a balanced diet and in maintaining an active and healthy lifestyle. My goal is to do the Badwater Ultramarathon. This blog will track my progress towards that goal. My dream is to inspire others, especially children who struggle with obesity, to make positive changes in their lives. The purpose of this blog is to provide a forum for discussing ultrarunning and health and fitness issues.
