Last year, I ran a half marathon in 2 hours 48 minutes. I decided to get a better grip on my health, and my weight. I lost 40 pound in 6 months. Yesterday, I ran the same half marathon in 1 hour 57 minutes. Can't say how proud I am.

Next: the full next year :-)

    That is awesome! It makes perfect sense that you can run faster after you dumped 40lbs of excess weight.

    Also the running was probably part of the weight loss success so those muscles are undoubtedly stronger. Congrats! What's next?
