You’ve done fantastic stuff Andrew. My only bit of advice would be don’t take on too much – you’re running, doing the pushups program AND now the abs thing. (And I think you lift from time to time too). It really increases the odds of both overtraining and/or something going kaboom.

I realise I’m one to talk, running endlessly without rest days etc, but I gave up all of my lifting and other sports to accommodate this. I felt it was the only way to possibly get it done.

I hate to sound even the tiniest bit negative, because I’m really not – I just don’t want to log on here in a week’s time and see you saying, “I’m now trying the ‘climb Everest in a fortnight’ program…’

You are definitely proving that it can be done without either pushing yourself beyond your ability or getting crazy about diet. Truly inspiring. Good on ya! Metroknows last blog post..How to buy chicken without getting punched

Let’s not forget the fact that you used to find it hard to blog, to write about yourself, to share about your thoughts and feelings with others (let alone write about it). Now, it’s not that hard is it?

Being able to share this experience with others is a great feeling isn’t it!

Hey, even I’m addicted to running and just did my first 30 mins run ever at the end of C25K week 6.

Well done!

I'd love to do 100 push-ups too. I just can't keep motivated to stay on track with those. Week 3 is kicking my butt. TB--Milwaukees last blog post..America's Largest Waterpark

Inspirational dude … I am sure that you’ll get that marathon under your belt in time, and that we will both (eventually) get that 100 push-ups done too!

"I’ve also lost 25 kgs (55 pounds) over the last 6 months and I owe a lot of that to my getting fit focus." Wow, I didn't realize you lost that much. Sounds like when I dropped 40lbs in 6 months. Sadly I put some of it back on. Luckily I am heading in the right direction now. Johns last blog post..July 31st, Run: Frustration, Sadness, and Hope (To Be Continued…)

Amazing accomplishments. It reminds me I still want to do a post about before and after my weight loss. When I think about it, its amazing the amount of things in my life that have changed along with my weight. I'm also thinking a half marathon will be my goal next year, I'm thinking a full might be pushing it a little too quick for next year, but we'll see how it ends up. The marathon I would target is more than a year away... Kates last blog post..

Way to go dude!!!! Keep going….I can’t believe how far you have gotten on the pushups…. can you imagine 1 year ago and what you might be thinking about doing this.

I have alot to catch up to you but I am on your tail

Keep it up! What a great feeling it must be to have already exceeded your expectations. That is terrific. I've run one marathon (in 2004) and since then I've always wanted to run another. I'm hoping to run one in 2010. After I ran the marathon, I felt very proud of myself for putting in the time to train well. It was super-duper! So, I say, put a marathon on your list for next year!

Andrew: 55 pounds in 6 months is a remarkable accomplishment all by itself. When you throw everything else into the mix, your life truly demonstrates that "I can do whatever I want and that has opened up whole new vistas of opportunity for me." Bravo. Go for the marathon.
