Went from couch to running half marathons

This time last year I was pushing 280 lbs and barely could walk up stairs without getting winded. My doctor basically said I needed to make changes or I was heading for serious problems. Started with just walking 20 minutes a day. Now I'm training for my second half marathon. What I miss most is sleeping in on weekends haha. What I've gained is actually having energy to play with my kids and not feeling like garbage all the time.

That's an insane transformation, man. From 280 to running half marathons is a whole different person. What was the turning point for you?

Respect. I'm trying to get back into shape myself but it's hard with the schedule. How'd you find the time when your kids were really young?

This is motivating as hell. Proves it's never too late to turn things around, even when life gets complicated.
