Watch this! THIS is why I am a trainer. I absolutely dig guys like this. I ran for a cause today. 11.11 miles in honor of veterans and their families.
This guy ran for his young niece.
If you want to be inspired, please watch!

    I had to pause it quickly to come back & comment.

    When I began my journey, I was 195lbs. Today, I am 152lbs.
    At the beginning, I could barely walk, let alone run.
    I recently began running & have since done a 5k (so far)
    I have decided to run the half marathon locally in June, and am hoping for a full sometime next fall.
    I too run for a cause.

    On November 5th, 2008, my twins were born and were soon after diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis. When I began running, I began running for them, always with them in mind.

    This video has barely just begun for me, and already i'm extremely touched by it, thank-you for sharing.
