Throughout my whole life I have always been the big football player. Now people hardly recognize me at 185 pounds!

Throughout my whole life I have always been the big football player. In college I played both defensive-end and tight-end at Morehead State University, with my playing weight fluctuating between 235 and 245 pounds on a 6’3” frame. I hated running, no matter how far it was.

In 2003 when my playing days came to an end I told myself that I would never run again. A few months later I realized that I needed to do something or else I would quickly become overweight! I started running a mile each day at the gym. One mile turned into three over time, and now I’m up to eight miles a day. Running quickly became a habit for me and I was so happy with the weight I had lost. People hardly recognize me now at 185 pounds.

For the majority of my running career I ran at local gyms and outdoors. It was not until we moved to a rural area that I looked into getting my own treadmill. I wanted to get a quality one similar to the one that the gyms had since I knew I would be on it each and every morning. After spending hours trying to find the right one I came across a Life Fitness T3 Treadmill. The favorable reviews all suggested it was the right one, and I completely agree. It has been the best investment of my life and I still get up at 4 am each day to run my regular eight miles! I consider my dedication to maintaining a healthy lifestyle one of my greatest personal accomplishments.
