    Huge Congratulations!! I've set myself a goal of doing a 10km race mid May- even if I have to walk half of it. You're an inspiration that it can be done!

    Solid time! Knocking 25 minutes off your time from last year is an amazing feat. Amazing feet even.

    I'd love to hear about your training schedule! I'm training for a 10-miler at the moment.

    Thank you!! I dont really have a training schedule. I started with the C25K app on my phone in Feb. 2011 and kept going until I ran my first half marathon in Jan. 2012. I actually stopped running, and only walked on the treadmill at home and that is when the weight started falling off. I was really hungry when I was running long distances, and I ate alot. I started running again on Jan. 1st this year and worked my way back up to six miles. I walk during the week on the treadmill, and I only run on the weekends.
    Good Luck on your upcoming races, and thanks again!
