MSN.com Scroll down to the Health and Fitness section. That's me. Shocked

Talk about surreal and a bit scary! I knew it would be on MSN, but I never thought it would be on the home page!

WOW! That's awesome! Big grin

On your deathbed, you won't wish that you'd spent more time at the office. But you will wish that you'd spent more time running. Because if you had, you wouldn't be on your deathbed.

I need to apologize to Eric. Wink

In the original version I mentioned Running Ahead. It along with a few other details apparently didn't make the final cut. But I tried!

That is so very awesome, Callie. Not just the being famous either - your accomplishments to get to the point of writing that story are even greater!

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

What a great story! I've seen you posting here on RA, but I never knew about your dramatic weight loss.

Callie that is incredible. I love how not only did you prove you could run a marathon, you did it in under 4 hours, something that not even all people who believe themselves to be athletic can do. Amazing.

I'm speechless (this is rare...enjoy it! Wink

). Girl, your story is simply amazing! Your before and after photos don't even look like the same person! You are proof positive that hard work can yield amazing results. I hope you are half as proud of yourself as I am of you. I have only lost 60#s (well, more like 50 right now...dammit if hitting goal and staying there aren't tough)...I know first-hand what a battle weight is. I'm still fighting every day. You are such an inspiration! Big grin
