I just ran my first half marathon this morning in 3:09:07. Considering I was sitting on the couch in January of this year and not active at all, I'm more than thrilled with my time.

    Way to Go!!!! So happy for you. And you just started in January? Amazing! I just started running in Jan. as well. I'm registered for a half marathon in Feb. 2013. I know it's gonna take me til then to train. The most I've done is 10 miles so far. Thank you for sharing your success and inspiring the rest of us!

    Just looked at your profile...are you from Florence as in South Carolina? If so, we are neighbors :)

    Great job! I started walking/running in February and progressed to mostly running shortly afterwards. I'm training for my first half coming up this fall. You've really done amazing! What's next?

    Thanks everyone! I had some amazing ladies at work holding me accountable and encouraging me the whole way. Next on the agenda is dropping another 10-15lbs and working on improving my 5K and 10K time. Considering another half in October, depending on whether or not I'm pregnant with baby #2 at that point.
