Former Overweight Alcoholic Plans To Run Boston Marathon 4 Times In A Row

LAFAYETTE, Colo. (CBS4) - A Lafayette man will be one of the Coloradans running in the Boston Marathon this year, but he's not running the race just once.

David Clark said he's going to run the marathon four times in a row, back-to-back.

Clark says at 320 pounds, he used to be an alcoholic. He then turned to a new addiction -- running.

Starting on April 19 Clark plans to run the marathon four times to highlight addiction awareness.
