Ran my first half-marathon this morning! I was only focused on finishing without walking, but I think I did okay timewise....maybe around 12 minute miles. I don't see the results posted yet. Anyway, it was the hardest freakin' thing ever to fini****he last three miles almost killed me. My body rebelled. Now, I am ready for bed (it is only 6pm here), but I feel so great about finishing after being one obese cookie just 7 months ago! :)

Final time: 2:30:03 -- under 12 minute miles! Yay!

You can! I ran/walked my first 5k last May, then ran my first 5k in August. I wasn't fully trained for this, but I did it. If you keep up the running, you will be amazed at how quickly you can build miles!

 Carlea,  You are the WonderWoman of the day!!  You rock.  What an incredible success you had today.  Most of us can only dream of what you actually pulled off today.  Those last three miles must have been incredible to push through.

Bravo bravo bravo on what you accomplished today

how awesome! 

i just started the "couch to 5k" last week.  the first day i thought i was gonna die!  but it's getting better.....feel so much better when i'm finished!  so.....today i'll start week two of "couch to 5k"!

10/23 i'll be walk/running in my first 5k.  will probably walk more than run but that's okay.  it's a start!  can't imagine being able to run a half marathon!  how awesome that would be!!

congratulations on such an accomplishment!!
Blessings,  J
