Good job! Recognizing that you had issues AND tackling them takes a ton of strength. You've made some amazing changes in your life and now you are a fantastic runner, to boot! WTG! Big grin

That's awesome, Predator!

Passion is a rather frightening thing because if you have passion you don't know where it will take you.

When it’s all said and done, will you have said more than you’ve done?

This is a much greater accomplishment than your recent 5k improvements...though I imagine they are related. Well done, brother. Heard of Henry Rono? http://www.letsrun.com/forum/flat_read.php?thread=1444899 http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/more_sport/athletics/article1624398.ece

Thanks for all the support guys! Thanks Jeff for the links. Rono & Coe were my teen heroes. Got lots of reading now to catch-up.
