I'm 47 and have been running for only four weeks. I ran in high school and college, but developed problems with my knees and ankles that made it so I couldn't walk the day after running, so I haven't run in 25 years. A prescription has cured me, and I finished the whole 3.2 miles in 33 minutes! (I was dead last, but my BFF ran beside me!)

It was actually a team triathlon, and my BFF rode her bike, and my 15 year old daughter swam 500 yards in 8 minutes! We finished in about the middle of the team pack! I'm so happy and proud of my team. They pushed so hard! Even my husband and 10 year old son came out and took pictures and cheered me on!
