It's official!! I'm a Half Marathoner now;). I found running said distance to be crazy (and I still do) but to celebrate my 5 yr anniversary of keeping off 80 lbs, I decided to make it special, challenging & memorable. I pinned a pic of myself at my heaviest weight to chest & finished strong with an aching outer knee pain. The Reggae Marathon was perfect since I'm an islander, never been to Jamaica, never been to a foreign country by myself & it was their 50th anniversary. God is amazing!! I felt slow like a snail but finished in 2:10 & ranked 155 of 465 Half runners.
Whatever you do, make sure there's a purpose because it "will" get tough & having a reason will get you through it.
Yea Mon, it was surreal and so has been my journey!!
CONGRATULATIONS!!! What an awesome way to commemorate this major milestone. With ANOTHER MILESTONE!!! Keep on!
