    I didn't run my first half until I was 44, then proceeded to do 3 more in less than a year.

    Congrats and keep up the good work !!

    Congrats on your first half! What an amazing time too!! I ran my first half this year as well and couldn't walk for 3 days! lol Although I think I'm in the best shape of my life to do a full, I just can't pull the trigger! Wishing you the best in '14 with your full!!

    Thankfully the full will be more of a scenic fun run so time will not matter but we will see if I pull the trigger and sign up for it.
