I completed and WON my first Half Marathon!

This is amazing.  You really came a long way.  Congratulations.

I like to tell myself at times on hikes there is no paycheck at the end but doggone the satisfaction is so good. Congrats to you on winning that race even if you were the only entrant. You deserve a big trophy not only for the work to get to the marathon but the event itself. Keep on with the challenges.. Best of racing to you.  Push

That's amazing. You've come a long brother! Next time tinform the media your determination and accomplishment can, does and will serve to encourage others. Proud of ya man.

Thanks for all the comments guys!   The half-marathon is a bump in the road on my way to the IronMan Hawaii.   :)
