    Hi !

    Yeah, I´m a chunky runner for sure. Started running almost exactly a year ago. Last Winter I ran rain, shine, snow always three times a week. Then I fell off the Wagon and in the Fall I was good if I managed one run a week. Now New Year new me, lets hope. My goal is to run 10k in August. I can run 5k without dying, but no more than that, I´m sort of stuck there. Need motivation and advice and can perhaps give one in return. So add me if you like.

    Man, this topic had my name all over it... then I looked at all the people replying and the original poster... I guess I need to look for posts about Obese Runners. Cuz if you guys are chunky... man It's not looking good for me at 255. haha

    I sure used to be but I am pretty much at goal weight. My whole story is in my profile but that is beside the point. I run 30 to 40 miles a week and currently training for the tobacco road marathon on march 17th. I also have a half marathon scheduled on Feb 2nd. Add me if you want to. I love talking about running and will try to keep you motivated!

    :) When I started running I weighed over 70 lbs more then my current weight-just 20 to go now.
