My dad has been overweight and was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. I struggle with weight issues as well, but am determined to establish better habits in my life while I'm still young and capable. That's why I've begun training for my first marathon. In less than a year, I'll run 26.2 miles and hopefully be on track to change my life for the better. With three kids of my own, I want to show them how healthy habits lead to a higher quality of life.
