April, I saw this post briefly the other day and have been so busy I am just now getting to read the whole post. All I can say is WOW, I am so impressed and inspired by your accomplishment. You must be tremendously proud of yourself because you are truly an inspiration, I could not have done what you did, you were awesome!

Thank you so much for sharing your journey with us! I hope you have treated yourself to a special reward for now only making it to the end but making it at a faster time than you anticipated.

Way to go!!!

yeh: well done - another runner on the road. I think this is the start of something great for you: you've got all the signs of joining the rest of us with our funny shaped feet (farewell sandals), and obsession with timings and placings (don't you love knowing how many people you beat) - 11 minutes miles in your first event is awesome. Keep at it

WooHoo April !!! You have given me hope that I will be able to run some of the 1/2 marathon. I'm working at walking at the 16 minute mile pace. I had decided a while back after I had the 13 miles under my feet, I would start adding a bit of jogging into the mix, but I was very skeptical about whether or not I could do this. You've given me hope and inspiration. Keep up the great work, and keep on sharing these wonderful accomplishments with your WISH family !

Congrats !
