While I have been a regular walker, I had not run before February (for many, many years) but took a challenge to join a friend in a women's half marathon in NYC this weekend - 1 week before my 48th birrthday. I finished in less than 3 hours!! I certainly did not run the whole thing but I did run parts and I kept going. And I kept thinking of my father - who had his first qunituple bypass 30 years ago - at the exact same age I am now.

    Congrats! I did my first half back in February and nothing compares to that feeling of crossing the finish line for the first time.
