I'm a late in life runner too who is beyond hooked. I started 3 years ago - your first half will be very empowering - have a wonderful run!<br />... ... oh, and look out - one of these days you just might want to go a little crazier and push for a full - something I never thought I would do, myself! <br />Can't wait to red more about you!<br />And there are snobs everywhere - ignore, ignore, ignore! Just like you said - we run for (and against) ourselves not anyone else! :)Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15746127583914380279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7873892191313894389.post-9567576826967679332012-03-15T12:09:55.173-04:002012-03-15T12:09:55.173-04:00You should check into the pace teams, they are awe...You should check into the pace teams, they are awesome and you become a little group and they motivate and get you moving!
