    Congratulations! What a great success story! I can totally relate to so much of what you've said. I was NEVER a runner. And once I started running, I struggled with the voice in my head that said I wasn't a real runner and that I wasn't meant to run. And that voice is still there. So, maybe I wasn't meant to run, but F it! I go ahead and run anyways.
    So good for you! You are a great role model!!!
