    That is an inspiring story. Congratulations on the weight loss and finishing the run. Sounds like you have a heck of a daughter there as well. Be proud!
    I have always tempered my killing with respect for the game pursued. I see the animal not only as a target but as a living creature with more freedom than I will ever have. I take that life if I can, with regret as well as joy, and with the sure knowledge that nature's ways of fang and claw or exposure and starvation are a far crueler fate than I bestow. - Fred Bear

    Great work on the weight loss and finishing the run. But even more congratulations for raising an outstanding daughter.

    Great story and a great daughter! I can't wait for next years pics. Do you have a final weight loss goal? When you reach it, reward yourself with a new tank. Congratulations!

    Congrats, Wolfgore!

    I'm 6' 4" and once weighed over 400 pounds. I ran my first 5K this year, too!

    Being able to run the race with your daughter had to be great. Just being able to run the race is great, and I'm glad you're planning to run it kilted next year.

    I have a friend who is pretty heavy and he wants to run a 5K this fall. I told him if he gets in shape to run it, that I'll run it with him...kilted!

    I look forward to your post next year!
