 And now I get to run around the country and the world with my best friend, my love of my life, and sometimes even my three-year-old son. All right, so best friend, love of her life. How did you get into this? For me, I was a competitive bodybuilder for about 10 years, and my appetite became a running joke amongst my friends. And they encouraged me to do a punch-key eating contest, like Polish jelly donuts around Fat Tuesday. And I decided to do it because I could win money. I got free donuts, and we raised money for charity.
