WASHINGTON — Marine veteran and Fort Worth, Texas, native Trevor Reed said Tuesday in an interview with CNN that in the 48 days since his release from Russian prison, things have gone well — he’s gaining weight and getting into the physical shape he was in before he was detained.
“I started almost immediately to try to get back into shape and get back into physical condition to where I was before and that’s going extremely well,” Reed said. “I’ve put on already I think about 30 pounds. Cardiovascular is improving significantly as well, so I’m excited about that.”
Reed said he’s been slowly but surely adjusting back to his life in North Texas, and has been spending time with family and friends. Though the transition hasn’t always been easy.
