New Here!

 Hi,

New here but I have been reading this forum for a year.   I can not believe how far I have come this past year. Lost 130 pounds finished 3 5k's, 2 4milers, 2 10ks and hopefully in about 12 hours I can add half marathon to that list.  I never would have guessed this is were I would be almost a year out from surgery and being a wife of a marathoner and ironman I would have just told you that you were plain crazy no way do I like running.  Well I have found myself over this past year and I found out I love running!  I am so excited that on my last long run I ended up running 15 miles because I was enjoying the run so much I forgot to pay attention to the miles.  LOL 

I just wanted to say what an inspiration everyone on this board has been.  I love reading all the race reports and hopefully I can add my own soon.

Anne

 So glad you started posting instead of just lurking - sounds like you have lots of motivation and experience to share!  :)

Can't wait to read your race reports!  Best of luck in your half.  Where are you running it?

welcome, i hope you continue to train and enjoy running.  we will look forward to you participation in the race reports and daily workout threads!

 Thanks for the support and my race was this morning in Greensboro NC the cannonball half marathon.  My goal was to finish in 2:30 and I finished 2:31:52.  I hope to do a race report later today.

Excellent Job Anne!  Look forward to reading report!
