I became a Marathon Finisher!! See picture

 Congratulations!  You are soo inspiring to me, as are the other runners of this forum.  It's not an easy sport and one that requires just as much mental tenacity as physical (sometimes far more than physical).  Way to go!  

I agree with you that it is a lot more mental than anything else. I think that is why I kept coming back to it. The wls surgery was a tool for better health, but it didn't fix my "head". I think that is where the running filled in some of the gaps. It forced me to believe in myself. Great lessons can be learned from running a marathon. It's truly life changing. Thanks for your kind words!

Looking hot crossing that finish line. Congrats!!! As hard as it is, doesn't it feel great!

Lol! Thank you. It was well worth all the trying moments and then some!

 Looks like I showed up late, but I still had to say congrats!!  That is awesome!  You inspire me!!  Makes me feel like I shoulda pushed through my darn 3 miles this morning...  :)

Thank you!

Just think about all the people that stayed in bed instead of running! We dream big and wake up and move closer to that dream one step at a time! Keep on choosing to get out there...you're doing great!

Amazing! Congratulations! What a life, huh?

I truly felt blessed that God gave me a second chance to renew my health. Thanks for the kind words.

Congrats!! Knew you could do it and hope to be in that same place myself some day.

There is no doubt you're day is coming. Just keep putting one foot in front of the other and dream big! Best wishes!!
