Hi everyone. I don't post much but thought I'd share my good news.
I ran the Vancouver marathon today and BQ'd by 13 minutes YAY! I needed 3:55 and got 3:42... needless to say I'm so happy and excited.
A little background on me.... Been a runner for 12 years or so. Today was marathon number 5. Ran the CIM Sacramento marathon in 2010 in my fastest time of 4:16. Last year got injured (IT Band) and had to run/walk Big Sur marathon. After that I decide to get healthier and fitter. I lost about 40-45lbs and started training for today in November 2011, doing way more cross training than ever. Worked really hard and it has paid off.
So for all of you who are just starting out on this journey of wellness, keep at it cause who knows where it will take you.
