He weighs 350lb -- but Jacob Seilheimer is running the Boston marathon this weekend

The Story

The guy is ENORMOUS. But he decided he had enough. At 438lb he started training to run the Boston marathon -- for charity. Of course, he can't qualify for the actual race, so he'll do his run behind the official starters. See mro of his hilarious training videos at www.whatwouldjacobdo.com In Jacob's own words: ' Forrest Gump Once Said... "And for no particular reason I started running..." Well that's not me. I'm no Forrest Gump. I hate running. My name is Jacob and I'm running the Boston Marathon. And to answer your obvious question, no this is NOT a joke. I have my reasons for running. To give you a glimpse into my life, let me ask you if you've had any of the following happen to you: * Have you ever had little kids point at you and laugh while you're walking down the street? * Watched a TV News Report on obesity and wonder if it is your Fat Ass that they're showing from the neck down? * Have to weigh yourself on a commerical-grade scale at the local meat-packing plant? * Worry about if the chair you're sitting in is going to collapse at a restaurant? * Watch in disgust when skinny girls like Tyra Banks strap on the ol' fat suit for an afternoon and then break down in tears because they "know what it's like"? * Drinking your misery away at the bar because love obviously isn't finding you tonight or any night for that matter? I want to welcome you to my life on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and thrice on Sunday. But that was yesterday. And today is a new day. Today is my day to shine. I'm drawing a line in the dirt and taking a stand. Stop by as I'll be posting a new training video each week (assuming I don't die first)... '
