In September 2011 I committed myself to breaking out of the sedentary American lifestyle and to getting fitter than I had ever been before. I became obsessed with long distance running and weight lifting and trying to find the perfect balance between the two. I achieved all my fitness goals by late spring/early summer in 2012 only to face a major setback via major surgery that knocked me out of the fitness realm for months. Now I'm on a mission to reclaim all that I lost during that downtime and come back with a vengeance!
