From 28.3495 grams to 26.2 miles

October 19, 2003. I was a drunk, 300 lb pothead who wheezed when walking into the gas station to buy Camel Lights and Cheetos.
October 19, 2013. I ran 26.2 miles in my first marathon to celebrate 10 years without booze, nicotine, THC and the unwanted extra 87 pounds.

Thank you MFP for helping me turn things around. In addition to being and feeling so much better, I calculate I saved about $50k over the last ten years by not buying cigarettes, beer, and pot. Plus, I will probably save a ton of money by not requiring treatment for heart disease, diabetes and COPD.
