    My partner is 62 and is training now for another marathon. He started around your age and never looked back. Congrats - you now have a new lease on life and look, and I'm sure feel, incredibly happy.

    I don't know what to congratulate you on first. Giving up smoking, losing the weight, doing a half marathon, doing a mountain one at that, and finishing in the top 1/4. All are awesome accomplishments. As a fellow half marathoner I just have to say "You Rock"!!!

    Thank-you and congrats on your success! I have another half at the end of the month, also a trail run, not a mountain this time though.

    I often look back through the forums at past success stories, and I don't tend to bump them up even though they are nearly all fantastic reads. But this one deserved a bump. I'm just ... amazed and feeling greatly inspired by the OP's achievement.
