I know there are plenty on here who could destroy this...one of which is on my FL, but this is the best run of my life. Keep in mind that 2 years ago I couldn't run .25 miles without stopping (and at a slow pace at that).

Also, it is 48 degrees and raining today with a 30 mph wind. Very tempted to just stay in and watch football but I went running instead:

Feels good!

    Don't undermine your own achievements by comparing them to those of others. That is a brilliant run and it's YOUR achievement, so own it. Well done!

    Great job on the awesome run!

    From someone who cannot run far without losing breath and hurting - I find it motivating that you started from scratch and can rock out these great numbers!

    That's blazing fast. I'm a newbie runner this year so I can't run that far or nearly that fast. Well done!

    Thank you everyone! I was pretty proud of myself. My previous long was a 10k (6.25 mi).

    I'm hoping next year to do a half and maybe a full not too long after that :)
