Good on you! Similar story here - 6 years ago I lost 100 pounds through better diet and running. Started with Couch to 5k also. Since then, I've run 15+ marathons, and even a few ultras. I'm the healthiest I've ever been, and have never felt better. Plus, I'm setting a much better example for my kids than I was previously. Now they're really starting to get into running too, and have been doing some of the shorter kids races.

This is a great idea - add me to the list, I could definitely use the extra storage space!

I don't necessarily mean that the business would have to go to a fully-paid model, just that they will have to find some other way of adding value to their product, be it support, training, or add-on features or services.

If this type of business model doesn't match with what you want to be doing, then maybe open sourcing your product isn't the right move for you.
