    As someone who has been a MFP friend for a long time and seen you develop into the Runner you are, let me congratulate you! Today after many months of training, YOU completed something that only 2% of the world has done. You are a Marathoner!

    Now take some a couple of weeks off serious training. Rest,, recover, reflect, enjoy and bask in your success... You've earned it!

    That is fantastic. Congratulations! And I love the attitude of not waiting until you lose all the weight to experience these things! Fantastic.

    That is so awesome! I've never been a runner, I ran one 5k back in my skinny days. I'd really love to do the minimarathon here in Indy but I'm so scared! This is inspiring! Thanks for sharing!
