    Awesome work! Nice time as well! I'm hoping to do my first one late in the year or next year. I just did my first 8km run 2 days ago, so I'm getting there.

    Thanks for sharing your story. It was very inspiring. I'm currently,training for my first 5Ks this fall. Can't even imagine doing a half at this point!

    You are such an inspiration! Congrats! What a great accomplishment! I would love to run a half marathon someday. I've only run two 5K races so far. The first 2 years ago at 160lbs. Was happy I finished (without walking...that was my main goal) but disgusted with my time (over 41 minutes) so I kind of gave up running. Took up other forms of exercise and recently got back into running, now at 137 lbs and in much better shape. I love it now! Did my 2nd 5K earlier this month and finished in 32:03. Surprised myself this week and actually ran 4.25 miles, so slowly increasing my distance, getting ready for the Broad Street Run next year in Philadelphia (10 miles). I hope I can do it!

    Wow, this is fantastic, well done on your achievement, you must be extremely proud :happy:

    I am running my first half in November, I barely managed to walk/run a 5K yesterday so I have a lot of work to do!

    If I do half as well as you I'll be over the moon :smile:
