      i have a question though.. your success really is totally amazing BUT between work, working out/running and your charity work, how much time do you actually spend with your family. I am all for health and fitness, but it looks more like you squeak in time for the most important people in your life to make time for yourself and things that make you feel good. I was inspired by the article, but a part of my heart went out to your wife and daughter who seem to be left in your dust.. trip to dollywood aside, of course.

      Thank you all so much again. Someone commented about feeling somewhat sorry for my family and my lack of time I spend with them. Just so everyone knows, I have visitation with my kids every other weekend. Over the past 2 months my weekend workouts have taken some time away from them but they are so proud of what I am doing and are my biggest cheerleaders. It has been tough on my wife. But she works full time and takes care of her parents 2-3 nites a week. So she is super busy but we always make time for each other. She is my #1 cheerleader and wouldn't have this any other way. And again, in 2 weeks, this is all going to be over. Yes there will be a new goal, but it will not be anywhere near as time consuming.

      What hours that are taken away now, gets added back in years later. Good look in Louisville! My wife has to work or would be there cheering you on.

      I am so inspired! I had the same thing happen to me at Six Flags with my family. I don't know which was worse, not being able to ride with my 4 boys, or walking out the exit of the ride all by myslef because I couldn't fit the ride.

      Thanks for sharing your story. feel free to add me.
