He was going into homes and showing people with major diseases how to change their food and fitness to change their health.

I really appreciate the pictures of you as you got started with running. I think you're very encouraging for people who think they can't become runners, too. Like you, I find running goals for improving endurance or speed to be very motivating rather than just hitting some weight.
