When I first got back into running 2 yeas ago, I was 220 lbs, and could barely run .5 miles. Up till now, I am persistent with running 3 to 4 days a week, and have gotten myself to where I can run 8 miles, and am now training for a half marathon. I also have some speed that I have never had before. I want to praise and thank the Lord for giving me the time and allowing me to be persistent with it. It is all because of him, not me.
