Two years ago, I was not in a good place. After moving to Charlotte, I had exactly zero friends who lived in the city, rarely worked out (3 mi in 30 minutes!),  and was dealing with the immense stress of a “reorganization” at work. In fact, I was so stressed out, I broke out in Shingles. (This is pretty rare for someone under 40.) When I went to the doctor’s to deal with the Shingles, I tipped the scales at 199 lbs. #Beefy

Fast forward two years, I work out 4/5 days a week, competed in a 5k, 10k, mud run and trail run. I’ve posted in Summerville, SC; New Orleans, LA; Atlanta, GA; Fort Mill, SC (Q), and even ran the Mothership three times. I’ve enjoyed two summer of F3 Dads and F3 Camp last year. I can run a sub 7 min mile and weigh in the low 170s. I’ve endured 1000 tweets advertising a “down PAINment”. (Let’s retire that phrase, please.) Plus, I’m site Q for Stonehenge (Saturday 6 AM). Best of all, I have dozens of new friends in the gloom. For this, I am so grateful. #ISI
