    Awesome story. I was feeling in a rut and feeling lazy this morning, I even thought I'd skip my run today, then I read your story. Thanks for the motivation to get moving. :)

    Congratulations on your personal success! Being healthy benefits the whole family! Keep spreading the word. Lots of people need to realize there's hope for them, too. This summer, I've allowed the heat and my early morning building projects to derail my training runs, but I'll be hitting the pavement again soon. I'll prepare for a half-marathon, then determine if I need to go for the whole enchilada.

    Thanks for sharing the story with us!

    The story is so heartfelt. Love the picture of two of you on the Dollywood ride at the end .That's pretty awesome. And your right, no one will be able to take this accomplishment from you. Congrats on the weight loss and the CNN coverage. You will inspire many.

    Amazing! Thank you for the inspiration.

    I had major surgery in May. I started C25K the end of July. Sometimes it is easy to lose sight of the fact just a few months ago, I couldn't get out of bed unassisted or walk up a flight of stairs. Just getting out there and running every day is a victory. Thanks for reminding me of that.

    Wow! Congats on the weight loss, the article, your 5k, 10k, triathlons, half marathon, full marathon, your tri's and now an ironman! This is prob the first time I can honestly say, I want to follow in your footsteps. Ive lost 108 lbs this part year and have done 2 5K's this year. Will do a 10K on Thanksgiving and have been riding a bike now for the past month or so. My goal is for a sprint dual/tri in the late fall or early spring. Its great to see other folks from Kentucky stepping up to the plate. We are 6th fastest state in the nation (Im up in NKY). Its people like you that will hopefully motive others to change that.

    Congrats again and GO CATS!

    Fantastic story! You must be so proud of yourself! This has spurred me on to lose the last 25! I registered for my first triathlon in October. It's a great feeling getting in shape, as you well know. Thanks for sharing!

    That's awesome! I'm inspired by your commitment to the physical challenges. I've lost a lot of weight but I'm no where near your class physically. That gives me something to aspire to. Thanks for sharing.
