J.R. Martinez Running In NY Marathon!

J.R. Martinez, former U.S. Army soldier, motivational speaker and winner of DWTS is taking on his newest challenge… running the NY Marathon!
He recently tweeted:

Alright guys so here is the #announcement! I’m running in the 2012 #INGNYCMarathon! Teaming up with @timexsports! I’m stoked #runJRrun

— J.R. Martinez (@iamjrmartinez) September 12, 2012

Running 26 miles seems like nothing compared to surviving burns over 40% of his body while in combat.
We’re glad he’s being healthy and going for the long run!
Hopefully he can inspire others using his motivational skills! Get out there people!
Go for a run!
