Running Shoes, Gear Reviews, and Posts on the Science of the Sport
I love stories about people who take control of their health by getting active. Yesterday on Facebook I shared a video about a man named Derek Mitchell who weighed 625 pounds. He decided he needed to do something about his weight, and so far he has lost 35 pounds and he just completed his first 5K. Given the response to the video on Facebook, I thought I’d share Derek’s inspiring story here as well. Go Derek!

what a beast
always awesome to see someone commit
people his size are usually embarrassed to be seen outside exercising, i find it amazing cause it does take a lot of courage
not to mention they’re taking the initiative to do something about their weight
