If someone had told me 3 years ago that I could and would successfully complete a ½ marathon with relative ease I would have not believed it. But, here I am, 100 pounds lighter and a successful finisher of the Shenzhen ½ Marathon. I couldn’t be happier or more proud. I also feel very fortunate to have been able to train with and cross the finish line with Mariya, my wonderful China Mom and dear friend. The run went very well and I’m really looking forward to running another soon; I’m hoping to get at least one more in before heading home in June.
