Never though in 35 years I would say I ran a half marathon and under 2 hours. I have been running off and on for little over a year. Which was a big help in lossing 90lbs. Also it helped in getting rid of type 2. It's been a road and I've learned anything you want in life can be achieved with sweat and hard work and waiting something bad enough. Have a dream and go after it. This is just the beginning for me. Let's rock.

    Wait. Your first half and you sub-two'd? I just did my 5th half and I've never sub-two'd. Not sure whether to congratulate or be jealous :smiling_imp:
    Just kidding. Congrats. That's an amazing accomplishment!
