My First Half-Marathon

livehappe · May 2012

Whenever I reach a new NSV, I like to share it at the community board and blog about it at mfp.
This weekend, I completed my first-half marathon.
I got off to a horrible start, but met some awesome and inspiring people throughout the day.
My husband metaphorically and literally held my hand throughout the race.
Give it a read if you are a runner. You might like it, and maybe we can become friends and inspire each other!

HUUUUGE CONGRATS AND GIANT PROPS TO YOU!

Thank you sooo much for sharing your story. I am a new runner. I ran my first race, a 15K last weekend. I am in love with the sport. I only have one "real life" runner friend and never run with him, so its really awesome the people I meet and the story that I get to read here on MFP.

You are a beautiful writer and this blessed me tremendously. Again, thank you.

Ah Robin, you make me cry. And want to go out for a run, even though I'll be huffing and red-faced and dopey-looking, I'll do it! hugs!

I love your blog. It was truely inspirational. I will be running my first half marathon with my daughter, who by the way has done lots of these and talked me into this, on July 22nd.

Great story, Robin, thanks so much for sharing and inspiring the rest of us! I know I needed a motivational story to keep me focused, my half marathon is in October and I'm already getting scared! I'm not a runner, but for some reason this is on my bucket list, guess there's something to be said for challenging yourself beyond what you think you are capable of. Congratulations, Robin -- way to go!!
