Ran my first Half Marathon today

Never in a million years would I have thought that I would be able to run for 13.1 miles. 9 months ago I was 60 lbs heavier than I am now and was barely able to run for 3 minutes without feeling like I was about to die. Since joining MFP I have logged everyday since February & I completed C25K. I have run a handful of 5K's, Warrior Dash & an 8 mile relay.

I finished in 2 hours & 19 minutes, not the best time, but now I have a time to beat for my next Half Marathon.

    Great job! And that's not a bad time. I just ran my second, and I'm only down to 2:23, so as far as I am concerned, you are doing fantastic!

    Great job! And your time sounds fast to me. I just did my first 10K on Saturday. Slow but steady and proud to have ran the whole way! I have a half marathon in December and like you would not have imagined myself running that far in the past. I have a ways to go to get back to where I was before baby #3, but I am excited to be where I am as far as running goes. Keep up the great work. Running does become addictive!
