    What an achievement!!! What an inspiration! I've often doubted that it's possible that someone with a sedentary lifestyle can metamorphose into a MARATHON runner . . . .but here you are, you've just given me hard evidence. Well done, and all the best with your new healthier lifestyle to you and your wife:happy:

    Congrats! I am currently training to complete my first half-marathon this summer. Last year I did one, but wasn't going fast enough so they put me on the bus at mile 10 and drove me to the end. This year I want to finish it on my own.

    That's awesome! 3 years of training and working towards this goal is a great milestone which many are not willing to undertake or give up on. I'm striving for the same goal (running a marathon) and seeing this helps confirm that with dedication it is possible. You're awesome!
