Congratulations! So happy you accomplished this task in less time than your training time. I can understand the emotional feeling at the end. I am sure when I do my bike challenge I will have the same feelings. Sounds like you should have some pampering time before you begin training for the next one. Thanks for sharing the pictures and video that was awesome!

You are a fearless warrior!

Thanks for sharing your experience from training to completion. Did you ever imagine you would be running half to full marathon before surgery?

Check the half marathon off your bucket list. Congratulations!

Before surgery I had done Couch to 5k a couple of times in previous weight loss attempts. I loved the idea of being a runner, especially because I had never run until I was in my 30's and was TERRIBLE at running as a child. I maybe in my wildest dreams had thought of doing a half or full marathon, but honestly a 5k was really hard. I thought it would be crazy to even do a 10k! So when I got this wild hair to do a half marathon, I had pretty low expectations of myself. So glad to have proved myself wrong!

Yay! Congrats! All of the hard work paid off and you also looked fantastic crossing the finish line! I usually look like I'm going to die and you looked all in-shape and athletic, lol. A half marathon is a huge accomplishment- good for you!

I certainly FELT like I was going to die. I was moving at a snail's pace. I was only "running" by the most generous definition of the word at that point. :P

Huge, big, wonderful congratulations to you! That is so fantastic! I just finished my first 5k, so a half marathon is something that I can still only fathom. On my 5k race I did experience the same thing you did with the faster time. Something about the adrenaline in the moment just made me go that bit quicker, I think. I have needed to get motivation back after finishing my race and this definitely did that for me, so thank you so much for sharing!

      It has hit me today, as I sit in my chair at work that I don't have my belly sticking out to where it would hit the desk. Oh and I can cross my legs more comfortably. It amazes me just how much I have loss in inches vs actual pounds, I have lost 24 lbs all together. But I believe in inches all over about 3 inches. I am noticing more energy and have pep to my step. My skin is a lot clearer. My watch band is shorter by 3 notches. the little things are what I am noticing. When I bend over I don't feel out of breath or I am going to fall over ( weeble wobble). 
      I am having a hard time with my sweet tooth, it is very hard to not want to get some ice cream or chocolate. Candy I can do without. I have no craving really for that, just chocolate and ice cream. I have gone as far as taking Popsicle and putting them in my mixer with almond milk and making like ice cream with that/ sometimes I have added un-flavored protein powder. 
      I feel better everyday. The energy is great to have with having younger kids and being able to have the energy to keep up. 😃

      If anyone has any advice on how to make your stomach feel better after you eat something you shouldn't have or at too fast, I would GREATLY appreciate it!! It's painful on both sides of my abdomen (like to the point I'm doubled over and using a hot water bottle in addition to medicine) and I'm really nauseous (the thought or smell of food is 🤢).
