    Rungry!

      I don't have many pictures of me at my heaviest (225 lbs), I tried my best to avoid cameras. This will have to do - 195 lbs vs 150 lbs. I didn't start running until I got down to 175 lbs. I got down to 140 for a while but have had trouble maintaining, so I'm back at 150.

        First race, with only 2 weeks of training. I'm about 190 in this picture, when I left for patrol (Navy) I weighed about 220lbs came back at 190 and decided it was time to start running. Now I'm about 170lbs

                As part of the 2024 London Marathon, I am fundraising for VICTA, a charity that helps blind and visually impaired children. My mentor while in law school, Jim K (a blind attorney), has been a huge inspiration and an example of courage and perseverance. Please consider donating.

                  I give all of you credit, you are move brave than myself.

                   

                  I  will never be putting up the pics of the almost 160 lb me.  That was 40 pounds ago and  13 years

                  ago,  just a few months before I became a runner and  pre-digital camera. Suffice to say that the

                  120 lb me never wants to see her again and never wants photos of her on the internet.Big grin

                   

                  Running has given me (and a few years later my hubby who also lost 40lbs)  a new life as a healthy

                  slim person and a totally different path that the one I was headed down before I became a runner in

                  May 2000.
