edited October 2 in Success Stories
First Half Marathon:
lonely, hard, walked up every hill, wanted to quit, felt horribly sick after

Second Half Marathon:
never alone, easy, walked through three water stations, ran up EVERY hill, never wanted to quit, felt energized and had that runners high for the next 11 hours!

I couldn't have had a better day yesterday! I still feel great today. The absolute best part of the race, hearing my 5 year old tell me he loved me as I passed. So excited for my full in 6 weeks!

    Thanks everyone!

    tkopps ~ Never give up! I did the C25k a couple years ago, was never a runner or even active in my younger years...and look at me now :)

    What an amazing feeling and such an inspirational story. Thank you for sharing.

    I only hope that when October 8th comes around, that I'll be tackling my 5K with that kind of spirit!:-D
