    That is awesome! I ran 2 half marathons earlier this year and am hoping to run my first full marathon soon. Thank you for your inspiration! Much continued success!

    That's fantastic!
    I'm running my first 13.1 toward the end of October and hope to do my first full marathon next year. I know how much hard work it is - GREAT job!

    OMG your story is so inspirational!!! We are about the same weight, and have the same goal!!! I just ran my 2nd 5k last weekend and have been kicking around doing a 1/2 but was scared I was too heavy!!! Now I know it can be done!!! Thank you!

    That is fantastic. Congratulations! And I love the attitude of not waiting until you lose all the weight to experience these things! Fantastic.

    That is so awesome! I've never been a runner, I ran one 5k back in my skinny days. I'd really love to do the minimarathon here in Indy but I'm so scared! This is inspiring! Thanks for sharing!

    I loved your post! I especially loved the "nah's". That's my kind of no! LOL Anyhow, I think it is so awesome that you are accomplishing things as you go and will remember that when I try to tell myself that I can't do something, b/c I'm not at my goal wt.
    Thank you so very much!
