Chad,
 Thank you for sharing your amazing journey with us.
You inspire and motivate me.
I have lost 125 lbs since Nov 12th 2007 and began running last May.
I ran the Disneyland half marathon in Sept of this year.
I am now training for the Surf City Marathon Feb 7th 2010.
I picked that marathon because of the date.
On Feb 7th 2005 my oldest daughter Cara died while driving under the influence of alcohol.
The day of my marathon will be 5 years since she died.
I have experienced some real lows during the holidays, Jan ( her birthday month) and in Feb for the past four years.
I made my plans for the marathon knowing that  my training would do nothing but help with my lows during that time.
Your journey encourages me.
Keep it coming.
By the way, my motto is...Grow some and use 'um...not very lady like, but it keeps me focused...Kathleen

Grow some and use 'um!
