I have never been a runner. I started training on April 1st at 2 miles.

On June 23rd, I ran my first half marathon in 2 hours and 9 minutes!!! One of the most amazing & proud moments of my life! Just another example of what dedication, determination, and hard work can do.

    awesome job! I did 14.38 km this yr. took me that long to do it only cos we walked some of it. wasn't til later i told them I had to run and that was it. I can only imagine the time I would of done it in if I had of run it all. But I was just happy to of gotten through the whole thing. I am working up to run a whole 10kms. Next yr will do the 14.38 kms again but plan to do it in an hr and run the lot! that's the plan! again..awesome job!!
