    I did my first half last fall and very much the same feelings. My 11 year old ran km 19 - 20 with me really helped :) And my husband raced around in our car to all the cross roads to cheers for me. I cried a lot. Congrats on your run and your time. I belong to a running group and we call ourselves " The Herd " that slogan will be added to our signs.

    Thank you all so much! I am super stiff this morning so reading your messages when I was all like "Ow! Why did I do this????" reminded me that I accomplished a huge goal and it was so worth it.

    Pain is temporary, pride is forever!
