You are not that far off. I weighed about 260 odd pounds when I started. AndrewEs last blog post..Weigh in: Green is good

Way to go Andrew! Doesn’t it feel so good when your body just *does* something you didn’t know you were capable of? Those long runs that just happen – man, that’s why I keep running. Talk about endorphin rush!

I just got over here to read about your long run … that’s great! Yeah, You’ll be ready for the half marathon, what with your weight loss and training … you’re on top of it.

I hear what you’re saying about push-ups. That just happens to be the way that they measure our upper body strength in the Army, so it seems like a good idea to find a fun program to increase them.

Hi Andrew, Just stopping in to say hello. I came across your site in my endless Blog Travels. Very inpiring progress you have made! I am ready to start Week 3 of C25K, and a true newbie to running - I have never been a runner EVER. It is going well so far... I just can't wait to get to that base line 30 minute run, somehow that will make be feel more like an 'official' runner! Feel free to stop by my site and I will be checking in here often! Keep up the great work! Cyndis last blog post..Home Sweet Home

I hate those runs that just suck, and we all have them too. Mine this morning was hard, although didn't suck, but it's amazing to me, some days can seem so easy and other days so hard. But I love every minute! congrats on your longest run yet! Kates last blog post..one month down, a lifetime to go!

Wow great distance progress – it is such a great feeling to be able to run that far!

And good for you on the jaw-dropping. I’ve recently had some friends mention that they were really surprised to see how much I’d lost as well, and it sure does wonders for your motivation.

I can't wait to lose some more weight, then I am going to start running. I'm still too heavy at the moment and my ankles not my strongest part, along with my size 8 (US) feet, small for a 5.11" frame, ha ha Take care, Andrew Thank you for all your encouragement!

I thought about it but decided that over enthusiasm could lead to injuries. Besides, the rain was absolutely pelting down. AndrewEs last blog post..My longest run yet

Great job! Thing is, that essentially is a half-marathon – I’m surprised you didn’t grind out the last 1.27km just to know that you’ve got it done. Or are you saving the full distance for the race?

I’ve been enjoying plenty of almond butter and banana sandwiches on wholewheat toast lately, usually with half a handful of mixed nuts – they’re really nutritious and a great energy source.
