    Good for you! Way to go!! I did a 5K over the summer in July...I was 291...I used to be 400+ so yes it felt really good to do something rather than lay on the couch and watch the runners on tv!
    I cried too..it hit home at how far I have come and gave me the strength to keep going...
    Great blog and thanks for sharing!

    Fabulous and inspiring!! Both yours and the other comments from other good sized gals who haven't allowed size to dissuade then from running. I'm so encouraged. No more excuses!!

    A huge kudos to you. I admire you so much. I am under 200 lbs and I can't even run for 5 minutes. I get scared that I might hurt my knees. I had started accepting that probably it is beyond my reach. You are such an inspiration to many of us and give us hope. I will try again. I will be happy if I can run 1 mile without stopping one day. Congratulations.
