Mazel Tov! Doesn't it feel fantastic to cross that finish line? And you took 2nd! What a victory and such a great momento to show how far you have come.

 2nd in my age group. ;)  Far far far from 2nd in the whole race. I think 2/3 of the runners finished ahead of me. But I don't care. I did it!

 Happy to finish - agreed! :)  

I just thought maybe you thought I meant 2nd place overall and I wanted to clarify that I'm no miracle worker. LOL. 

I see you are doing half marathons! Awesome! I aspire to reach that level...eventually.

 congrats! i started the couch to 5k and concluded that me and running just don't mesh. my knees were hurting, my back was hurting. so i'll just stick to pretty much everything else at the gym :-)

 I used Couch to 5K to train. Great program! And I was literally "Couch" to start so it was perfect for me! Heehee.

Knee pain and running definitely do not mix!  Ouch!  Lucky there are plenty of other healthy things to do!
