An Inspirational Classmate

A classmate of mine, Jacob Seilheimer, ran in and finished the Boston Marathon this past weekend. There are many people who run marathons but Jacob is somewhat unusual in that he weighed 400+ pounds when he began training 3 months ago! I know Jacob has had a rough time the past few years, for one he is in law school which is like being pecked to death by a chicken and his father passed away last year.

Here is a news story about this accomplishment and Jacob's website which is replete with training videos and Jacob's story. I encourage everyone to read up.
