Yesterday I ran my first half marathon. It was hotter than it has been during my entire training and even though I didn't get the time I was shooting for, I don't care! I did it! It was without a doubt one of the hardest things I have ever done... and I will be doing it again this fall :) It is still sinking in that I actually did it!

    Thanks... I just started running back in August with a 10K training group and then went right into half training. I never thought a half would be something I could do. I just didn't think it was possible, so it's pretty cool to prove myself wrong and do it. Good luck on yours, it is definitely an experience!

    Way to go!!! Big congrats!!
    I have to warn you...once you complete a few half marathons, ya start to think that doing a full is a reasonable thing to do...and before you know it you've signed up for a full.... ;-)

    WTG Lauren!!!!

    I run my first in 3 weeks, and looking to train again for a local half fall race.
    We have had really cool temp for training, hear Nashville is always HOT.

    I have told myself if I do the fall half with less whining, then I will do the Blue Ridge Marathon next spring!!
    Suppose to be the hardest, next to the CA race.
    It's a local for me and I can train on the course!

    Good luck in the fall!
