OH MY GOSH!!!! How awesome. I had tears in my eyes at the end of your story. You are an inspiration to each of us who WANT to run. My goal is to run a 5k either before I turn 50 or when I am 50. I will turn 50 in May. It would be awesome to run a 5k on my birthday. I've started the C25K twice but never completed it. You have inspired me to try again. I enjoy cycling but running is something I have never been able to stick with long enough to get past the pain. I know if I look at the pain with the same attitude you had I CAN do it. I WILL run a 5k this year. Thank you so much for posting your inspriational story.
