Super cool and inspiring...so I don't mean to be condescending or anything, but since this was a half IM, then would someone call themselves an Ironman after a half distance though? I mean it's still impressive, but what about those who do a full distance?

It reminds me, personally, that it is never too late to start over again. You just gotta keep plugging away because it isn't the time that matters it is the effort you put into it...that was a brilliant saying by Latonya.
Hello Doug. Man that was a bad injury for sure. It’s taken some time to recover but all is good. Latonya is amazing. She’s an inspiration to so many! Thanks for the comment. Take care!
What was your time???
This was my first marathon. 5:34. NYC marathon I did in 4:43 and Houston I did in 4:29. Looking to break 4 someday
@@ChrisSwanzy nice!!!
wish your playlist was sorted the other way around..
I went in and saved them the opposite direction. Maybe that helped? Thanks for watching.
@@ChrisSwanzy wow that was quick. i like your videos. thanks. thumbs up.. be safe.. peace.
Such an inspiring story! Thank you for sharing! Just found your channel -- I signed up to run my first marathon .... Chicago 2022! I'm not a runner... lol BUT it's my dream to become one .. Here goes nothing! :)
Thank you! Great for you! Such an amazing experience for sure. You will never forget your first marathon!!! You will be a runner soon. Stay consistent on the training. You will get there! Stay in touch!
I couldn’t run 1/4 mile at the start of 2021. Finished a 10K in August and a 1/2 marathon in October of that year. Been accepted to run the Chicago marathon this October 2022. The hardest part is being consistent with training. Thanks for the video, you are more like me than many of the other KZread runners.
Hello John I was in the same boat. It’s amazing what consistent running does for you. Next thing you know you can go further and further. Great work man! It’s such a great feeling when you accomplish each step. Keep up they great work and thanks so much for sharing. Keep me posted!!! Take care!
Why run during the day? That is just asking for trouble. Morning or evening.
Great story. Keep moving, Latonya. Chris, sorry to hear about your injury. You have a unique way of injuring yourself. I have injured myself in several creative ways. Hate to say it. Glad to see I am not alone in creative injuries. Hope you have a complete recovery.
This is so inspiring! Thanks for sharing Latonya's story with us.
She’s is definitely an amazing lady and has overcome so many obstacles!
what was your time?
This was my first and I did it in 5:34. My second I did in 4:41 and last one in 4:29. I’d like to break 4 at some point.
Did no one stop and help you?
Nope. Drove right past me!
Good to see you again! You haven’t been marking video quite a while.
Thank you Conner. Good to hear from you. Things have been busy! Hope to do some regular videos soon

Hey bud. I looked for you but tons of people. I watched your video. Keep your head up brother. It’s about the journey and not the race. Keep trucking along man. Proud of you man!
Currently binging this series, but I get all the spoilers in my recommended video list haha. Amazing man, being able to follow along is great motivation.
Lol. Funny how that works huh! Thanks for watching. I’m glad they have motivated you. Keep up the great work! Take care.
Amazing. Congratulations!

Wow. Your whole journey has been go big or go home! From 0- marathon and then IronMan. No small races just the big ones! Love it.
It’s definitely been a process for sure. Worth all of it. Thank you for the comment!
