100 pound+ weight losers who run marathons
I'm trying to put together a list of websites of people who have lost over 100 lbs and RUN marathons.
So far its not much of a list, just myself and 2 others. Can anyone point me to any sites that you know of? Here's what I have so far: http://www.perrymonaco.com/ Perry lost 100 pounds and has finished 3 marathons (6:01 / 6:19 / 6:37) http://www.msteechur.com/ Tory lost 107 pounds and has finished 3 marathons (4:47 / 5:05 / 5:56) http://bostondiet.blogspot.com/ Mike (me) has lost 120 pounds and has completed 1 marathon (3:49) along the way. (But I still haven't finished a marathon since I passed 100 pounds weight loss). |
I came up with 2 more
http://runsteve.blogspot.com/ Steve from Houston went from 330 pounds to 185 pounds, and finished one marathon (4:01) http://weight-loss-story.blogspot.co...e-hundred.html Cathi Lee went from 500 pounds to 170 pounds, and had finished one marathon (6:00) |
Fingers crossed I'll be joining your list at some point, although I want to get my half out of the way before thinking about the full version :)

Its a great goal to shoot for Helen. It really gives a higher purpose to saying no to junk food when you are training for a marathon. My races motivate me so much more than my health or my appearance ever could.
Here's another website I found: http://www.kensweightloss.com/ Ken went from 405 pounds to 235 pounds, and finished the 2005 Chicago marathon (4:17) |
I wanted to bump this now I can officially go on the list - 107lb lost and 4:51:26 :carrot: :carrot:
