Yay for me!
I made it. I ran the 15K this morning, and I not only finished, I beat my goal time and came in well under 2 hours--something like 1:55. When the official stats are up, I'll put them here, so I can remember later.

But, I finished the first 5 miles in under an hour. I cannot believe I ran 9.3 miles before 9 a.m.

My life is different than it was.

It's nice to feel proud of myself. I feel proud and pleased in ways that are totally unfamiliar to me. Running may be the first thing in my life I've really had to struggle for, and fight uphill the whole way, and it feels like such an accomplishment. It makes me feel like I could do anything, can still do anything. And that feeling is beyond words, and valuable beyond measure.
