In July 2011, I weighed 278 lbs. On Mar 12, 2013 I made the decision to qualify for the Boston Marathon. This was my journey. Now I'm a recovering alcoholic, this is my new journey. I'm still running a marathon, just a different type.
You know…I knew 2011 you and I don’t even believe that. And on a separate note I can’t keep up with 2013 you and your 30 mile weekends. Just think you’re well under that distance on Sunday. No sweat. LOL
Wowwwwww so inspirational! You can tell you are now a different person – even though it’s 2 years later, you look 10 years younger! Kill that marathon!
I hope to kill the marathon!!! And thank you. I wish I had started this journey 10 years ago! However I am thankful that I am where I am!!! I love running.
What transformation!!! Isn’t running just the greatest gift ever? 🙂
Thanks! Yes. You are right. I’d be a mess without it. 🙂
Excellent progress — huge congratulations on the amazing journey. Best of luck with your marathon in two days!
Thank you. In really excited!!
