    That is amazing. I have just started to get into an exercise regimen. My goal is to runn a half marathon in the next 2 years. My 16 year old will be going off to college, and I promised him I would run a half before he goes. This has truly inspired me! Thank You!:wink:

    Fabulous! Give your body some love for performing so well and yourself some love for your perseverence. Don't know if you've already done this, but maybe a visit to a podiatrist could help your feet feel better.:love:

    You're amazing! Great job!

    And thank you for sharing. I'm trying to run, struggling cardiovascularly, and was ready to quit tonight until I lost another 50 lbs. This might be enough encouragement to get me back out there on Wednesday.

    You ARE a superhero for getting out there and doing that! I salute both your courage and your conviction! :bigsmile:

    I ran/jogged/crawled my first 5K back in July - See Chicks Run - in Philadelphia, PA and it was a moving experience for me.
    Not only was it my very first run ever, but I have issues with chronic pain and asthma as a hinderance and I am paranoid in crowds.

    Still, when I crossed that finish line - the tears were ones of joy mixed with pain. I like to think of myself as a completer, not a competitor. I'm not in it to get the best time, I'm in it to prove that I CAN do it. Since then I've done The Color Run, the Ocean City Police Chase and the Merrell National Down and Dirty Mud Run and Obstacle Course 10K and hopefully I will do more in the future when I can get my lungs to cooperate. :bigsmile:

    So take pride in your accomplishment and keep going!
