Go, Lori, go! I'm so glad you didn't let the hills defeat you and that you stop and consider how far you've come in your running journey. Your persistence and patience have served you well and, I suspect, will continue to as long as you let them.
Thank you! It's funny--I now compare all hills to a few of the larger ones I've run. Sort of like measuring with a banana, but for inclines instead of inches.
I don't expect to soon take up running, but you are inspiring. And here's some inspiration for you. I worked with a very nice man who didn't take up running until age 59, and ran his first marathon at 63. You already have a head start.
Sometimes it takes a couple of good runs to remind me that I love doing this. Continuing to work at a thing you want, to keep improving until you are comfortable at it...yeah. I want that for this adventure in half marathons.
