In the beginning...

If the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, then so let this kick things off here.

Fat Guys Running Club (FGRC) started as a joke between a couple friends who set out to "run" a 5k together on Thanksgiving Day, 2011.  After discovering that "running" wasn't so bad, they both started taking it a bit more seriously and set their sights on a few more 5k races.  Which has turned into a couple half marathons.  This is their journey.

In the future, you'll get to "meet" all of us, hear about our triumphs and struggles as we dive further into running and fitness, and perhaps even watch progress as we shed pounds and gain fitness.

We can't promise you'll take anything special from this, but hope that perhaps you'll derive some inspiration, knowledge, or wisdom from our own mistakes, good decisions, purchases, research, etc.

Run on, runner!
