About me:  I began a steady walking routine in April 2006 at 225+ lbs. In June 2006, I ran my first mile, ever. In August 2006 for my 30th birthday, I ran my first race (5k) in 34:30. In December 2006, I ran my first half-marathon--2:08:14. In May of this year, I broke the 2-hour mark. Yesterday (11-11-2007), I ran my first marathon--4:34:06 @ 185 lbs. Why do I run:  I realized that if I work at it, I can accomplish some pretty major things. Why I started running:  Because walking was not fast enough.
