    With the Knoxville marathon just six days away, I just wanted to post a picture that my brother took yesterday on Easter. I guess I've dropped an additional 10-15 lbs since making original post. I have to say I do feel great and am starting to look like a runner.. :-)

    I'm ready!

    Congrats on your awesome accomplishment and good luck this coming weekend on your first marathon. I ran my first (and only) marathan several years ago and just having finished was enough for me (who cares if it took me nearly 6 hours!). Anyway, best wishes!

    You are a great inspiration to us, saying that it IS possible to achieve if we put in the hard yards and use commoonsense. Congrats on achieving what you have in such a short time.

    The Knoxville marathon was today and I finished with a pretty good! 04h:42m:00s, officially, although my sports tracker showed my time at 04h:38m:38s!

    All in all, I'm quite pleased with my time. The Knoxville course is the most brutal run, with hills that seem to only go up, that I have ever run. Other runners, who had run other marathons, told me it was the hardest course the had ever run as well!

    As promised, here are a few pictures!

    At the starting line!

    And at the finish line! :-)

    Here is a YouTube video of me around mile-marker 18... I was already soooo tired by this point thanks to the hills!
