Staying fit in a combat theater of operations is critical. You need to be strong to carry your body armor and all your equipment. Staying fit also helps you to remain alert and reduces your day-to-day stress.
Over the weekend I ran another 5K marathon with about a dozen other service members. By the time I leave Afghanistan, I will have run/biked a distance equal to the circumference of Afghanistan; 1,750 kilometers. Not being the most hard core athlete, this is an accomplishment I'm very proud of.
