Keeping it Joyful with Erick Martinez Winner of the South Mountains 50k - Episode 51

Erick Martinez is a 26 years old who is relatively new to running (2018). Listen to the happiness in his voice! It's infectious. His joy for the sport is something we should all aspire to find. He took that joy and won the South Mountain 50k by taking the lead at half way point pushing and looking to find that point in which the effort would require him to push through the pain and cause him to truly suffer. Could he, did he find that breaking point? Here's not only that story, but his story. I hope you enjoy!
