    Wow, inspiration!! I am also very slow. I'm doing my second 5k next month and have so far topped out at 5 miles for my long run (but that's been a while). Thanks for the nudge... I need to keep working on my distances so I can shoot for a half in the fall! It seems so scary, but SO many people have done it! Do you think you'll go on to a full marathon?

    No, I really don't see myself doing a full marathon. Given my slow pace (yes, I can improve that, but I'll never be 'fast'), it's just way too much of a time commitment. I cannot imagine running for 6+ hours at a time LOL. Will they serve me a nice pasta dinner half way through? :-)

    You are astonishing! I love seeing how your kids grew up in the photos and you transformed yourself. You look confident and proud. Woohoo!

    Awesome work! I can only run 10k at the moment and I can't imagine going more than double that for a half marathon without walking in between!
