I just wanted to start this blog as a way to unite other "heavy runners." I began running in 2008. At the time I weighed 250lbs. Over the next year, I made it down to 195. I now hover between 200 and 215. (The holidays were rough on me.) I am planning to use this blog to track my progress as I struggle to keep the weight off and put mileage on my shoes.

Along the way, I will document my feelings, failures and successes. I will post my race times and just hope to connect with other runners who are in the "heavy runner" category. Honesty...when I run I feel like a cow among gazelles! Wish me luck!
