Front Splits Are Close! I'm So Excited!

I started pole dancing when I was 50. The entire time I've been trying to get the front splits. Now, at almost 58, I'm about one and a half inches from the floor. I'm confident that by the end of 30 days, I'll be on the floor. It has taken a long time, and I did quit several times along the way, but now I can see the front splits in my sights. This is extremely exciting for me. ~~ I remember when I was 50 or 51, and I took a stretching class from a pole dancer. She told me it took her ten years to get the splits, and I was so discouraged by that. But now, I realize that this is not a sprint. It's a marathon - a journey and a personal path. Some people can get the splits in a matter of months, but some take years. Also, I got into this in my 50s without any dance or gymnastics background. So that plays into it, too. ~~~ I'd love to hear stories from those of you who can do the front splits and how you felt when you knew that you would be able to accomplish it. Thanks!
