I've been running since August of this year. I raced a 5k in late October and didn't finish last (actually, a PR pace for me that day) and caught the race bug!

I have signed up for my first HM in May and today I ran my farthest distance yet - 10 miles! I am pretty proud of myself and I wanted to say that if I can do this - ANYONE CAN.

    That's great! I started running earlier this year..... ran my first half marathon on nov 10, and my second on December 9th. :) it's an amazing feeling! I've run some 10k's and 5k's too..... they're all fun. and I agree, if I can do this anyone can!!

    If you dont mind me asking, how much did you ladies weigh when you started running? Just curious.

    Congratulations! I keep wanting to run, but I just find that it hurts. Maybe someday I'll get there too. :)

    Awesome :D! Running is my method of choice. I haven't signed up for a half yet, but I love 5k's and trail running. Yay for the race bug!

    That is such a wonderful accomplishment! Great job! I grew to love running too. Now run about 6 miles 4-5 days a week and am running a half marathon during the summer. Keep up the awesome work!
