I’ve always been large, I was 315lbs at the age of 15, 420 by the age of 25. I was always somewhat active with Football and the likes, but man did I eat, and man was I huge. A back injury and a few years of denial and I began not fitting in 4x clothing. I moved and decided it was time for a change. 3 years later I was 218 and doing pretty well, but tragedy struck and I lost my motivation, became depressed and just tired all the time. And now, BAM, I’m a dozen or so pounds from 300.
I just trained and completed the Boston Marathon, this blog was about my run, which was for the Leukemia and Lymphoma society, and for my friend Andy Dick, who currently is battling cancer. His mere existence is a constant reminder that anyone can do anything, and completing the 2012 Boston marathon really brought back a lot of confidence and motivation I had lost in January of 2010.
So, now we move on, 225 here I come, goodbye 60lbs, and good riddance.
