I am an active duty Marine and I was training for a combat oriented marathon. One of the members of my platoon had mentioned something to me in passing and started up a conversation about weightlifting and general fitness. He challenged me to try something new and ever since I started up with the little knowledge I had, learning more and more as I went on.

I tend to workout early in the morning and I just feel so much more prepared for my days as if I was preparing just for that day. I love the feeling of after, knowing I just did what I did.
