    Your story gave me goosebumps. I'm so proud of you!

    I've never been a runner, but I've always wanted to be. I signed up for a 5k in October. Your story is so inspirational and motivational for me!

    SO inspirational, well done! PLEASE post your pictures in any thread where people think, or whose doctors have told them, that they cannot run at 200, 180 or even 160lbs.
