    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!
