Excellent piece of writing there Chad! Again, way to go man!

Chad, that was wonderful. Congrats on your accomplishment, it really is something to be proud of. I am looking forward to reading about your experience in Kona! Scott

Dude you are so my hero!  I am training for a 5k right now. I have never been much of a runner, But reading this inspires me in so many ways! Good luck in Hawaii !

Damn. Just Damn. Amazing story.

Chad you have done one hell of a job . You make all of us WLS guys look great . Keep up the great work .Maybe some day wls will be looked upon in a different light . With people like yourself doing what your are doing , there is hope !! Chad you sure have my respect man. ( btw I sure would NOT want to meet you in a dark alley , you look like you could put a hurten on a guy if you were pissed )         Nick

Your a freaken real live hero man!!!! Congratulations on your success. Scott

CHAD IS THE MAN!!!!!!!! I have a cousin that ran the Iron man.  Thats a crazy race.  Good luck!

Chad, First let me congratulate you on an awesome accomplishment. You started your journey heavier than me,  and I just couldn't picture myself ever doing what you have done. I went to just check out your marathon page and I started reding and couldn't stop. As I was reading your details of the race I was trying to envision myself accomplishing this enormous feat. I almost (don't tell anyone) starting misting up as you described in detail how you felt comming down to the finish line. Again, from the bottom of my heart, CONGRATULATIONS. Your story is one of the most awesome I have read. You are a true inspiration to us all on this board.  Thanks for sharing this with us. Dan   

Words escape me. I've told your story over and over. I've got to be honest I get a little choked up. This would have been a great documentary the only ones I've ever seen show WL patents regaining never these great accomplishments. Thanks Chad you makes us PROUD. Bob
