I'm 31 years old and decided enough was enough when I hit a BMI of 30. I have struggled to change, struggled with how I've felt, and struggled to keep myself in Navy standards. Being stationed on a ship has come with some new challenges - I don't cook my own food when we're underway, making logging interesting.

I recently had several months in port so I decided to sign up for my first marathon - completed it on 03 Apr 16 with a time of 6.5 hours. I'm super happy about that and hope to do another one and improve my time!
