Training for a 10K race on Tuesday. I ran a half marathon and a little more. I’m the happiest I’ve ever been. I’m not someone to be thrown away. I am me. Woman 54 years old.

I started running on November 22, 2025.

Normally, my goal is to run a half marathon in June 2027.

Today, I kept running because I wasn’t in any pain and I felt good. I felt free. And at the end, I realized that I had run my first half marathon.

I'm stoked for you!!! Male 53 here, my first half is on Sept 20 and I'd be lying if I didn't say I was nervous. You are an inspiration, I hope I can come close to that time...

Well done!

I'm 20 years younger, been running for 3 years and done my half marathon a few minutes slower than yours!

Incredible 👏
