    FanTASTIC!!!! I'm so pumped for you!!! I'm 41, and running my first 1/2 in a month. Reading this made me a little less nervous, and a lot more excited. I'm hoping to finish in that kind of time, too.

    You earned this. CELEBRATE!!

    Amazing!!! I too have been told all of my life that I can't do things like this due to health issues, etc. Well guess what?! I completely my first ever 5k this weekend, and I ran the whole thing!! ( 2 firsts for me). I am looking forward to doing a half in a few months and going all the way to a full!! There is no stopping yourself once you stop setting your own limits!! Woowhooo!

    Love that!! SO true! Don't take no for an answer and set your own limits!

    A few people have asked me about my training plan. There are a lot out there and I looked at a lot. I finally settled on Runner's World's plan to run your best half marathon. It's pretty intense and I loved it. I will probably use the intermediate level for my next one. I used the beginners this time. When I started my long run was 10-11 miles but it wants you to be able to run 5 comfortably. Here's the link: http://www.runnersworld.com/rwdcaspdf/HalfMarathon.pdf

    Out of curiosity, which race was that? Sound like the one I ran. The Publix Georgia Half Marathon.

    Awesome. I know that feeling. I completed my first one exactly 10 years ago this labor day and I got back out of shape. So my goal is to get back on shape and complete my 2nd half marathon exactly 10 years afterwards.
