    Wow! I am impressed. You are inspiring and motivating. I downloaded C25K a few weeks ago. Today I finally had the courage to start it. As I was logging in my accomplishment of the day, I spotted your post on the sidebar. There I was, proud that I did Day 1 (barely!), and then there were you. I am approximately half your weight, but have other obstacles: I'm 58 years old, and I am recovering from a knee fracture. (Can't wait until Tuesday to tell my physical therapist what I'm doing!) Remembering your story will help me keep on track. I can do it. Yes, I can! THANK YOU!!!

    Wov! Supergirl, Wov!

    I was wondering if I too could run 5K. I'm 49-Male, a bit overweight. Why dont you share some more thoughts about the process. I know what c25k is, just wanted to know what you went thru.

    You, my dear, CLEARLY are a superhero. You're inspiring, motivating, gutsy, tough, honest, strong, AND (because those aren't enough...), you're a 5K racing machine.

    Thank you. Very much.

    You are very inspiring! I'm running my 1st 5K next month... I'm hoping it's the first of many. There are so many fun looking 5k's to get you motivated. Keep up the good work!

    It's individuals like you that inspire me!! You give me reason to quit feeling sorry for myself (when that happens) and just get out there
    no matter what and run. God bless your positive spirit!

    That's AWESOME! I have been walking because I thought/felt too heavy to run. I have lost 47 pounds and I have been asking myself when do I think I am going to get to that magic weight where I am small enough to run. YOU have INSPIRED me! Great job and thanks for sharing!
