My dear friend Tim Swearingen is running the NYC marathon with me next year. He always says that I'm his running inspiration, but he's the inspiring one. He went from 0 to a 1/2 marathon in 6 short months and he lost ... wait for it ... 80+ pounds last year. This year, he's pushing himself to run the NYC marathon. Read that again. Wow.
There is no way to say how giddy it made me to see him complete the half or watching all the little changes along the way on his fitness odyssey. He's one of those people who has a contagious enthusiasm for life and a way of making you want to push harder and do better.
I'm so proud of him. Can't wait to see that shiny medal on his neck. Run, Timmy, run.
**BTW, I'm completely stealing the idea of this running blog from Timmy.
