A year ago today I weighed 291 pounds. I had always wanted to run a half marathon but never thought that I actually would. Yesterday, I completed the Women's Nike half marathon in San Francisco. 13.1 miles. It was amazing. The hills were intese and the views of golden gate bridge and the city and ocean were beautiful. I finished in 3 hours and 18 mins. Not bad for someone who really didn't train or prepare. There was over 20,000 participants, mostly women and it was so inspiring. I am super sore today but so thankful that I was even able to do it. It was so awesome!

OMG, that's awesome! Good job!!

Amazing! Well done!

That's amazing. Such a great accomplishment. I did my first half marathon October 9th in Long Beach CA in 2 hours 25 minutes. I felt so proud and that was my greatest NSV since have been sleeved (01-17-11). Are u thinking of doing a full marathon?

You are amazing! My life goal is a marathon. Ran my first 5K was on 9/11. I think I might get off the computer and go run now:)

Thanks everyone! I had always wanted to run a full marathon but after the half I am not sure if I could handle the full! For now I want to keep doing some more half marathons and just keep improving on my time!

That's wonderful!!!!!!! Congratulations

Congratulations! I will join you on this NSV when I run my first half-marathon on January 29th. So exciting!

Omg!! That's awsome!! I'm running my first in February and I'm sooooo nervous!!! Good job!!

WAY TO GO!!!!!!!!

That is AWESOME! I plan on running one in April!

That is awesome, I can only imagine how you must feel. I have never been a runner but getting ready to do a 5k ( baby steps). Right now, I cannot even imagine me running 13.1 miles but then again, I never would have thought I would have lost 90 lbs in less than 6 months. How did you train, what were the steps you took to get up to a half marathon?
