Contains Before and After Pictures Plus Half-Marathon Results!I'm back from my half-marathon, Folks! And it was so much fun!!! Albeit chilly at the starting line, the sun came out, and the weather warmed up a bit for a beautiful Autumn run! There were so many people cheering on the sidelines, it was difficult for me not to be smiling from ear-to-ear the entire time (with the exception of a monstrous hill at mile 6!). I finished the race in 2:09:00, a 9:50/mile pace, which is a full 21 minutes faster than the original goal I set for myself 9 weeks ago! I'm really pleased with that time, seeing as it's my first half-marathon. My legs are a little sore today, and attempting to walk down the stairs this morning was a bit comedic, but with a day or two of active recovery, I'm sure I'll be back out hitting the pavement in no time! I also figure it's about time for me to post a before and after picture here, seeing as I've basically hit my goal weight. So, click on this post to be able to view the pictures, if you're interested. Before: After: When I see these pictures, there is so much more lost and gained than the 72 pounds. I was so ill and miserable in the before picture, and I really couldn't be happier now! Most importantly, all of my medical conditions have vanished solely through the foods I choose to eat, including a debilitating auto-immune disease that was slowly chipping away at my will to live. I had been unsuccessful at losing weight for most of my adult life, and it wasn't until I began making choices for my HEALTH instead of just to lose WEIGHT, that the pounds fell off effortlessly. Hope you're all off to the start of an amazing week! Go make it extraordinary! You deserve it!

Congratulations on both your HM and your weight loss (in spite of the fact that I don't think that's real food you're eating. :D ) . Haha, my goal still is your 'original goal." Nice time.

Wow nice!!! Incredible transformation. You should be proud. And I can tell from the background where you raced...we are nearly neighbors! Maybe some of your dedication will find its way to Nazareth! Congratulations again. That's a great time!
