Thanks! When I started I was doing a mile in 16 minutes. A few weeks ago I ran my fastest mile in my life at 6:19 and an officially timed 5k at 22:04. What's funny though is when I started running I couldn't wear shorts that had an elastic waist because my belly was so large they would fall down. I had to hunt for shorts…

Thanks, one of the highlights of this last year was being able to run in the charity 10k that the fire dept puts on in the spring. Going from running laps around it fighting to breath to finishing the 10k in 47:04 was an amazing feeling. Best of all not only did I run the race but my wife and 10 year old daughter ran it…

Thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks for the kind words!

Thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks, if it wasn't for her I would have never started with the Galloway run/walk/run program. Her success really fueled me.

Thanks. Absolutely if you make the lifestyle change it's not a question if you will reach your goals it's only a question of when.

Thanks!

Thanks, I actually started taking a picture and sending it to my wife when I walked thru the door to let her know I made it home safely. I was in such bad health when I started I had a real fear of not making it. So instead of making excuses that I couldn't run/walk I would run laps around our neighborhood fire dept. That…

I went from a 56XL suit to a 42L. My neck size went from an 18 1/2" to a 15 1/2".
