Loved to read your story...i start running last september, and i had my first half too.
I joined a running crew and they really motivate me.
Now i go to an event at least 2 times/month, to run 10K, sometimes, every week lol

YEAH!!!! Way to go! That is so cool that you got a picture of yourself in the paper. My goal is to run a half marathon this time next year, and I love hearing your story (bonus for well written and humorous!!)

I joined a local Run/Walk group that follows the Jeff Galloway methodology. I am taking it VERY slowly... I walked for the first three months, increasing from 2 miles to 7 miles, and dropping my avg pace from 21:00 to 18:00! Just starting another three month cycle, starting over again from 2 miles -to- 7 miles, but adding 25% running (intervals of 3 min walk, 1 min run). Once I get to 75-100% running, then I'll go into the group that will get up to 13 miles.

I just finished my first 5K and just started the Bridge to 10K and hope to do a half in Key West in January. Your story is inspiring, and hilarious, LOVE IT!
