I was a swimmer in high school but as the years went on I really let myself go.

Around 2000 I quit drinking, in 2006 I quit smoking and started to workout. I started running in 2006 but hit it a little harder since 2008.

My challenge has always been food and a disciplined weight program. In April 2010 I started a high protein diet with whey supplements and in 2011 began a more consistent lifting routine. Also in 2011 I did my first triathlon and am planning on continuing

I actually enjoy the pain I feel the next day after a good workout. Same feeling from running and swimming.
