Older Runners - Anyone start late in life and have success?

I started running just after my 45th birthday. I realized how sedentary I had become and had started walking a few months earlier. Then I read about C25k and decide to give it a go. My sister, who is two years younger, had been running marathons and half marathons for a few years and I figured if she could run with her asthma, bad feet and general clumsiness, then I who had always been the healthy, athletic one could, too. 3 and a half years later I have finished more than a dozen half marathons and lots of shorter races. I'm not fast and never will be, but I put in the miles and cross the finish line. I will also never run a marathon because I'm only "half" crazy.0
