I was in a foot pursuit with a suspect along with my partner. My partner, who is physically fit, was going over fences with the guy, but I couldn't get over them because I was 230 pounds of fat. After we caught the guy, I realized that because of my lack of physical fitness, I had made it where my partner was in backyards with a suspect by himself. If the guy would've had a knife or gun, then things could've gone very back. After that moment, I made a choice that I would get myself in shape...and I have. From that point on I have loss tons of weight and gained lots of lean muscle. I love working out and I love knowing that my guys on the streets can count on me to be in step with them (if not faster) when going after the bad guys.
