Yep! I'm running my 1st half marathon in Madison WI next month. Started running last fall at 59 yrs old and did a NYC 5K in March, an 8K in April and have been training for this upcoming race since then.

Lost some time to a torn miniscus and T-band issues, but am determined and also had a great Physical Therapist that I listened to. Fighting an upper respiratory now that has me a bit down and wondering if I can really do this. Will do 9 miles this Sunday, 10 next Sunday, and then it's race day on the 10th. This is not for the faint of heart, me thinks! :)
We’ll all be cheering you on, Sheri! Just take it day by day and see how you feel on race day. (That’s all any of us can do, right?) Sounds like you’ve got a great PT who’s giving you solid advice.
You got this Sherri. I ran my first half in September with a hip at less than 100%, but thankfully it held up for me. You will be surprised what your body can do on race day!
So it, Sherri! Also 59 here. On the plane from Denver to the AthHalf Sunday. Haven't run that far in 6 years and fighting a hamstring annoyance but SO happy to be running again! Hoping living at 7500' helps.
