To me, my hobbies are relaxing. Don't get me wrong, they can be stressful and painful and completely uplifting or completely heartbreaking, but I love the things I do. My main hobby is running obstacle course races and playing a role as an ambassador to the biggest team in New England, the New England Spahtens (nepahtens.com), both of which I have been involved with since 2012. This, of course, comes with a fair amount of training, including lots of hiking with my family, and a few road races in between so those would automatically be included in my hobbies.
Another hobby of mine is being involved with veteran support groups. I am very involved in a group called Carry the Fallen, a subgroup of Active Heros that helps bring awareness to veteran suicide and bringing the number of suicides from 22 a day to 0. With Carry the Fallen, we ruck with vets and civilians, twice I have done the Boston Marathon 26.2 mile route with a 40 pound rucksack. I also go to events with Team Red, White and Blue, which group's focus is actually what I plan on doing with my degrees, improving vet's mental wellness through physical activity. With this group we do races, family events, and other gym events.
Warriors!!

Maybe my hobbies are broad, but it is just what I like to do with my free time. I try not to have free time, actually! I'd rather fill every moment with lots of good things that fulfill my life, my kids, and others. We only have one life to live, I'm going to absolutely make the most of it!
