13.1? Check!

So, it turns out, you CAN actually run a half marathon if you weren't a runner 3 months prior. How do I know this?

Because yesterday, I ran a half marathon.

I started out with the 2:30 finish time pace group, and stuck with them through mile 7. I knew miles 7-10 would be my demise, and I was right! I had to stop a few times to fix my knee brace, as well as walk through the water stations. So my pace did suffer as a result, but I am still nonetheless thrilled that I completed the task at hand!

It was hard, it was exhilarating. It was like nothing I have ever done before.

And I want to do it again. : )

My 2:41 finish time needs big improvement - that, will be my next goal to tackle! 2:20 anyone?
