What is Team Challenge you ask? It's a fantastic organization that helps raise money for Crohn's and Colitis research through running half marathons. Working with them is really the perfect fit for me, running and helping the cause!
A little bit of back story for you. I went into the Naval Academy dreaming of becoming a Marine Corps pilot but as soon as Plebe year began I felt constantly tired, suffered stomach pains and other symptoms consistent with Crohn's Disease. To make a long story short my dream of serving my country got sidelined by disease. But it really was a blessing in disguise!
It took a few years to get back into shape, but now working out is verging on an addiction for me ;)
This past weekend I ran the Marine Corps Historic Half! My first legit 13.1 miles since moving and it was awesome!!!! I was only 2 min shy of my PR :) Placed 3rd in my division!
