4 months ago I was a 250lb blob that could barely run a quarter mile without passing out. I decided i needed to do something.

Today I am a much solider 198 and I ran 8miles at a 10min pace. The longest continous distance I have ever run in my life. I realize I am not going to win Kona or anything, but I have come quite a long way in the last 4 months.

Currently training for my first sprint which I think is going to be Pittsburgh at the end of July.

I feel great and can't believe it took me this long to HTFU and do it.

You could change the title of this thread to "Look at me, aren't I amazing..look what I can do when I put my mind to it..I am awesome!!" and I don't think anybody would argue with you!!

Congrats!!

You have every right to be "kinda" proud or even downright, no mincing words about it, proud.

Congrats man.. I have been dieting down from 255 so I know the feeling.  I'm down to 221 but I just started working harder on the running.  I was excited about hitting 10 min miles on my 3 mile run.  I can't fathom trying 8 miles yet.
