Nice. My goal is to do that this fall. Up to 5 mile runs each day. If it works out, going to try for a marathon next fall.0

That is AMAZING!!!! Congratulations!! I've just started the run/walk deal, after my 2 block run I feel like I'm going to kill over and die, and as soon as I catch my breath - it's time to run again!!! I have set a goal to run the Twin Cities 5k in October. I can't even begin to imagine a half marathon!!!
Good job lady0 -
Thanks everyone!
I think the hardest part was the week before. I decided to eat at maintenance starting about a week out from the race. I gained about 7-8 lbs of water weight...maybe one pound of that was actual fat. I expected the weight and stayed off the scale. I wasn't ready for how FAT I would feel, and it really messed with my head. I felt amazing though, ready to run and full of energy. I think it helped my race a lot, but I am so ready to finish losing weight now!0 -

That's awesome, my friend just asked me to do a half marathon with her in Nov in Vegas. I am scared but intrigued also!!! I just download an app to my phone to help me start preparing. I have never ran any sort or marathon or 5k or anything.. Any recommendations??? I figure with it being in Nov I have time to prepare...
PS your medal is awesome!0 -
Great job! I remember the first one I did (out of 2. Haha) an amazing feeling, isn't it? Proud of you.0

Well done! I will be in your shoes in May. I've run one 5K (a couple years ago now, to boot), and I signed up for a half-marathon at the end of May. My biggest concern is the heat/humidity that might get me, but pouring rain is the next concern, lol.
That's a beautiful medal and an awesome time; I, too, am trying to finish in under 3 hours.
Congratulations on your awesome success!0 -
