i don't think my mod status and health history are completely connected.

lets see when i was a kid i was a nerd. when I got to high school I joined the swim team as a frosh, swam all 4 years. junior year, I thought I was a jock so i did hell week and tried out or football. active scrimmage ended that dream. however i did discover the weight room. I joined my first gym at 17 and though i got pretty strong, I never got to 165 in bodyweight. I guess i wasn't doing it right.

Later, I got a mountain bike and some roller blades and rode the mountains and bike trails in CT.
In 96 I spent the summer riding the rolling hills of NC. I intended to go to Tampa on bike, but I forgot to plan and I did a 3 day journey from Raleigh to Myrtle Beach.

When I got to Tampa and went to college, I had the school gym at my disposal. Morning workouts, then evening Karate. I spent more time in the gym than in class. I should have gotten a PE major.

graduated, got sober in 2001, got fat in 2004 and started running in 2005, did my first 5K in 5/06 then a marathon in 2/07. I just can't stop running now. I'm up to 60+ miles a week.

So I dabble, a bit of everything. Honestly I have to say, that I was in great shape in Karate, and I am in the best shape of my life now.

OK, your turn
