Well... I guess I'm a marathoner!

Hi guys....
Just wanted to share with you my latest success.

Almost exactly a year ago I chose to do something about my alcoholism and get into better shape. I'm down almost 90 lbs from my heaviest weight and only have 10 lbs to go to reach my goal weight.

The best part is I RAN A FREAKING MARATHON! On Saturday, I finished the Hartford ING Marathon with a time of 4:17:01! I couldn't be happier, but I also realize that I have a life time battle ahead. I want to thank you all for your support and well wishes along the way!!

    Awesome! So impressed at your kicking the alcohol and then picking up an amazing new hobby. Also 4:17 is a really decent time. Hope you are proud of yourself, I personally think you are quite the inspiration! Way to go!
