You go Fern! Congratulations on improving your time, heck, congratulations on competing in a 1/2 marathon!! Keep us posted with the results of the next marathon. How does one go about training for this type of thing? How did you get started? I want to run a local 5K in July. That is my goal!

When I started running, I couldn't even run a full minute. I just did what I could each day. Run a minute, walk 2, run a minute, walk 2. Then work up from there. Once a week ( once I had been doing this for a while), I started just running. Extra slow and for as long as I could. First time I did it, I think I made it 3-4 min. Then 7, then 9, then 14. I just kept doing it and working at it. One week I jumped from 11 min to 26!! Then next week 41!! It was amazing and so empowering!! The longer I could run, the more I wanted to do it. The biggest thing I can say is to listen to your body. It'll tell you when you can push it and when to hold back. Just do the 5k. Sign up for it today!! It'll keep the motivation going. You can always walk it if you absolutely need to, but adrenaline will tell you to "run baby run"

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
