Yesterday, I ran my first half marathon! I finished at 3:17:56, and I was 8072 out of 8095, but I ran a half marathon! My legs hurt like hell, but I ran a half marathon! (Can you tell I'm proud of that?!)

    Brilliant! Half marathons are the perfect distance (because I said so) and you've run one. You may find that one leads to more, though...

    You did good for a first marathon. Half is still a marathon. Congratulations!
