    Thank you for posting this. Very inspiring and very true. When I'm out running and feeling like I'm going to die and I see another runner, all I've gotten are smiles of encouragement!

    I just saw the link on another thread in the main forums. I've read it before and printed it out - when I stopped sniffling.

    Thank you SO much! I have been that fat girl (walking) and now even as a slimmer girl I feel like the fat girl most days! I needed this and I know many of my friend who need this as well. :heart:

    This is great. Annoying how when you start to read the comments though that idiots attack the guy for using the wrong words etc etc. Sometimes people just have to criticise everything he clearly meant it to motivate people like me and I'm happy to take the motivation and not second guess his every thought.

    Thanks for posting the link...I am that fat girl who can run a mile and a few more steps each time, woohoo..I teared up reading that blog. I never thought about others silently cheering me on rather than thinking 'how did she ever get that way? It's nice to be reminded we aren't in HS anymore and people usually mature. But I must confess that Everytime I run I do tear up because I never thought I could run without killing myself. It is so emotional to do something that I only thought athletes did. Someone called me physically active yesterday and I said not really. But I am! I may not go for miles and hours at a time but exercise has become a part of my life. It took almost 45 years, I am 49 now...this couch potato has turn over a new leaf..Good on all of us for getting out there..and even the ones of us who are thinking about it...

    He quote that helped me when Running was only a delusion and made it a dream..NO MATTER HOW SLOW YOU GO, YOU ARE STILL LAPPING THE PEOPLE ON THE COUCH

    I haven't run in over 6 months, but this rings so true to me. Beautiful post, got me all teary eyed. I respect every runner I see out there, and especially cheer on the heavier ones - 'cause running is harder when you're heavier! I know! I've done it!!

    Thanks Thyme4change this is a really good one too, "NO MATTER HOW SLOW YOU GO, YOU ARE STILL LAPPING THE PEOPLE ON THE COUCH"
