I did it! My first goal was to just finish, my second was to run the whole thing. I managed to do both and come in first in my age bracket(50-59). I don't think there were many in my bracket, but hey I did it! Since starting this journey I have lost over 30 pounds and the best part-no more fibromyalgia symptoms. Thank You, Lord! One of my inspirations is my daughter Amy. She went from an unathletic woman to loosing 100 ponds and running half marathons. It is all about daily small decisions. If I can do this at 56 anyone can! Ps....I smoked my daughter-in-law!
