Summary
Anna-Marie Watson grew up in an outdoor-loving, adventurous family. The adventures continued as she served nearly a decade in the British Army. Upon leaving the military, she knew she did not want a standard job and "normal" life. So, what did she do? She flew to New Zealand to bicycle the country. This started a series of adventures that led her to competing in the world half Ironman, running (and winning second female) the Marathon De Sables, and many other adventures. And she is not slowing down. She is currently training for The Ultra Trail Du Mont Blanc – a 171 km race around Mont Blanc. She offers coaching services as well through her company, Reach For More Coaching. She shares much about what it takes to build an adventure-focused lifestyle.

| 0:22.9 | Get out there and have some fun. |
| 0:25.6 | Episode 264, Anna Marie Watson, Ultra running, biking, and coaching. |
| 0:32.9 | Thank you. Hey, friends, Kurt here. |
| 0:50.8 | You know, tonight I was watching the documentary by Leon Logathetus, The Kindness Diaries. |
| 0:56.5 | Leon was kind enough to be on the Adventure Sports podcast a couple of times. And if you haven't |
| 1:02.1 | heard already, what Leon has done is he took a yellow motorcycle with a sidecar and he traveled all |
| 1:08.2 | the way around the planet depending totally on the kindness of strangers. |
| 1:12.8 | He would not accept money, but he did allow people to feed him, give him a place to sleep, |
| 1:17.9 | and to fill his motorcycle tank with gas. |
| 1:20.8 | And in so doing, he not only made it all the way around the planet on the kindness of strangers, |
| 1:25.9 | he also made amazing connections along the way, learned so much about humanity and the way |
| 1:33.1 | that this world really works. |
| 1:35.2 | But what's really fun about this is when someone was generous with him and he found a special |
| 1:40.8 | need, then he would give back in amazing ways, whether it was building a library |
| 1:45.5 | and giving fresh water to an orphanage in India, or building a house for a lady and her son who |
| 1:52.4 | are living in a shanty, or a number of other things, he would find ways that he could give back |
| 1:58.5 | and reward the kindness of strangers. I bring this up just because |
| 2:02.0 | we were watching his documentary tonight on Netflix, and it was so much fun to see what he had |
| 2:07.5 | shared with me on the Adventure Sports podcast, and I was touched. I have to say, it's an amazing show. |
| 2:15.0 | You should watch The Kindness Diaries. You can read his book, The Kindness Diaries. |
| 2:19.2 | You can also go back and see the shows on the Adventure Sports podcast, The Kindness Diaries. |
