First off, I don’t want to mislead you. This blog post is not really about veterans. It’s about sore knees, team work, and trust.<\/p>\n
Last Saturday I ran a mud run. No big deal you might think. Good for you. Here’s why it’s significant.<\/p>\n
25 years ago or so, I weighed 231 pounds. That’s 231 pounds on my 5′ 4″ body. You do the math; that’s almost a half a pound per inch. I was round, uncomfortable, and really just unhealthy. I lost the weight and have kept it off mostly for the last 25 years. I learned to eat better, to exercise, and to take care of myself a little bit more.<\/p>\n
Fast forward to 2019, I have found CrossFit, Paleo, and am generally a more healthy person all around. That said, I will likely never be an elite athlete. I don’t want to be. I live on this planet and I want to enjoy my time here. Sometimes, I eat too much, I drink too much, and I do things that would not be considered healthy. Everything in moderation, yes?<\/p>\n
