| Introduction | I am 48 y/o and recently divorced after a 27-year marriage. I have 2 daughters, ages 14 and 19. I am a disabled veteran, having served in the Army for 8 yrs (6 overseas). After my service, I mistakenly adopted a sedentary lifestyle. I weighed more than 281 lbs. when I joined the Gulf Winds Track Club’s Beginner’s Running Class in September of 2010. When I started, I was barely able to run 1 mile. But, 8 weeks later, I finished my first 5K and managed to finish 3rd in my age group! I began cycling and swimming in 2011 and completed my first triathlon in 2012. In 2014, I completed IRONMAN Florida. In 2015, I began getting into hiking again and in 2016, began backpacking sections of the Florida Trail. In 2017, I began section hiking the 2,190-mile Appalachian Trail. -I'mRONMAN |
