Hi everyone,
I just wanted to thank everyone here for being an endless source of motivation for me.
10 months ago I was deep in my alcoholism and nearly 80 lbs overweight, and on Sunday I ran my first 1/2 marathon. I'll be running a full marathon in a few months, and I owe it partially to you all.
Thanks everyone!
