My one and only marathon (this past October): 4 hours and 16 glorious minutes!  Best time of my life -- I had so much fun, I know it's going to be difficult to top the experience.

My best time? I'd say that would be my very first Triathlon.

certainly not the speediest, but MAN did it feel good.

Second best was my first 70.3 Ironman Tri. And I REALLY didn't "feel" good but I sure felt GOOD - if that makes any sense. Being out there over 7.5hrs is rough.

Timewise... check my sig. I'm MOP in Sprint Tri's and BOP for most everything else, but moving my way up. As my run speed increases, I'll move to MOP or FOP (of Clydes division of sprint Tris... hopefully this summer)

I started in July 2003 @ 6-2 and a lunch buffet over 300# (Age 34)

Running turned my life around - I still struggle with weight, but now heavy is 220 instead of 290-300+

When ever I hit a bad stretch and start gaining weight - sooner or later running rescues me before it gets to out of hand 

mdmccat - I am blessed with a Big body that has held together training many miles for the last 3 years.  I am less impressed by times and more impressed by someone who is working hard and focussed on a goal.

I wish I had not put my times down as I did not want to be a thread killer.

The more people here communicate and connect, the stronger and better this forum will be.

Whew...those are some fast times WI MTP. Impressive.

5K - 23:14 weight 202

5 miles - 38:50 weight 202

10K - 48:50 weight 200

15K - 1:13:11 weight 200

Half Marathon - 1:50:20 weight 202

Marathon - 4:19 weight 195 (was on 4 hour pace until mile 18-19...then came the cramps...last 6 took about 1:15)

I've been running about 3 years. Started in decent shape...around 210...but running has kept me around 200. My body seems to like that weight. My best times have come in the last 18 months.

my all time fastest 5K is 21:32 (training run with XC team)... fastest half 2:06:21.  can't remember the rest.  Nothing special or that spectactular.
Purposefully put those times out of my head because I'm as slow as the ages now.       It helps so much to run with fast people when you're like me and just stay in your comfort zone.

PR's since October 2006 (races only, have done a couple of faster training, like a 5K at the track in 26:48, but race day is what really counts, right?)

5K: 28:52
5 miles:
10K: 62:35
10 miles: 1:47:15
Half Marathon: 2:18:40
Marathon: 5:10:53

Oh, and since this IS a weight-based forum, I'm 5'3.5 and 161 lb. 29.6% body fat (tanita scale).
Was probably 4-6 lb lighter on my all time PRs. Not too much
