Congratulations! What an inspiring story! Thanks so much for sharing.0

Congrats! I did my first Marathon on March of this year. Many people think it isn't worth it/ it's way to difficult. I can say being near last I still loved running it because I felt so accomplished about it.0

Congratulations!!! Amazing dedication! I can relate with not enjoying running but doing it anyways- I hate the process but the end, when you can bask in the feeling of accomplishment, is so worth it.

Congratulations! That's a huge accomplishment, you should be proud!
I started running with c25k too and the longest I've done is a HM. You are a true inspiration!0 -
Kudos to you, fellow Floridian!!! I agree - the "high" from the race atmosphere and crossing the finish line - they are what spurs me as well. (5k-er here, cuz I'm old!!!)

That is amazing. CONGRATULATIONS!! I started running a few years ago, but never really increased my distance above a 5K. This year I decided I'd finally try a 10K and I just finished mine in 1:04:33. Now my husband and I are going to try to find a 15K or 10 miler. I haven't decided if I want to try a full marathon, but you've convinced me that maybe I should at least try one! That Princess run sounds fun, I'll have to look into that one
Thank you for sharing your story. So many people (including me before I started) think that they CAN'T run and it's just not true (well, with some special circumstances). You can do anything to put your mind to!0 -
Congrats - NY Marathon is on my bucket list for sure.

Good for you! I also find it hard to run because I don't get the "runners high" either but definitely awesome to complete a marathon!! Thanks for sharing your journey- very inspirational.0

I can't believe I've been friends with you for so long and I've just noticed this post! You're incredible, and as a non-runner myself, you're a huge inspiration!0

Awesome job and congratulations on beating your goal time!0

Congrats! I am where you were four years ago (albeit a lot older) not a fan of running, yet trying to complete C25K. I can't imagine myself doing any length road race, let alone a marathon. Great job! (And your photos are great! Smiling in every one, and looking energized at the end.)0
