In Episode 47 of The Final Sprint Podcast I was proud to be joined by Senator Bill Frist.
Senator Frist has not only achieved great success and widespread recognition for his work as an elected official, but is another example (like Oprah, Al Gore, P. Diddy, Kim Alexis, Shannon Miller, and of course Jim Ryun) of a public figure that has successfully completed a marathon. As a matter of fact, in just ten years Senator First was able to complete 7 marathons
and 2 half-marathons despite the demands of public service.
Senator Frist (who is also a heart surgeon, 
author and pilot) represented the people of Tennessee for two terms, served as the Majority Leader for the Republican Controlled Senate, and is among the most influential people on health care policy in America.
In the interview Senator Frist discusses how he got into running, overcoming the loss of his kneecap in a motorcycle accident, and how he found the time to train for marathons while serving as the third person in the United States’ line of executive succession.
Download the podcast to hear Senator Frist speak about these issues, as well as, his passion and views on health and fitness (and how they affected his own legislative initiatives), the many other government officials who run and have completed marathons (i.e. - Senator John Edwards and former Governor Mike Huckabee) and much more!
