been reading...

this blog. i had no idea about the trek until i glanced at it in passing while on yawho. wow! this man has walked from Escondido, CA to NYC...a journey of nearly 2900 miles...in thirteen months!!!

it really is an inspiring story. at the outset of the walk, this man had weighed around 400 lbs. and over the course of the year, he has lost more than 100 lbs. and resurrected his self-confidence/esteem. although i've only read the first three months of posts, i do know that he has just completed it and will be on the TodayShow tomorrow morning. i'm intrigued to catch the interview...

that's what does it for me - the human condition. i'm not one for sappiness or perpetual happy endings, but just honesty and the daily happenings in our lives. i guess it's the mutual struggle that we all endure on a daily basis. after all, aren't we all wallowing in the same shit ;) some deeper than others i suppose...
