Just a few short years ago this was Luis.
Obese and unhappy with himself, Luis dug deep down inside and found the courage to change his way of life. He began by focusing on his eating habits. He then went on to work with a personal trainer and began an exercise regimen. This eventually led him to discover his love for running.
When I met Luis, we were both running 3-5 miles at time. He wasn't satisfied with that and kept setting higher and higher goals. Tomorrow will be the culmination of all his perseverance, determination and hard work.
This is Luis now.
Wow! After achieving this the marathon should be a piece of cake!
I humbly request that instead of commenting here today, please visit Luis over at his blog, Muddy Runner, and give him some words of encouragement. He's pretty nervous right now.
Good luck Luis. I know you will finish strong!

Left him so comment love. My cousin started her marathon obsession the same way. Now she runs several a year and come 1/2 ones too. She's in her 50s. (She's obviously much older than I am.)
I will comment both places. What a great story, thanks for sharing

Awesome. Amazing. Way to go Luis!!!! I'm off to visit his blog. I also emailed you about your first giveaway. Yay.
Thank you for sharing this remarkable story. It's such an inspiration to all of us. I went to his place and left a comment as well. You are the bomb for sharing this with us :)
I see such inspirational stories of people losing half their body weight and I don't have the self control to lose these measly 20 pounds. I want to start running. Maybe that will help me with my slow metabolism.
Thanks for posting this Polly! I already knew about LB's amazing journey, but just wanted to say you are an amazing friend! :)
p.s. I have something for you at my place: http://bit.ly/9sMZ37.
