yes. this is true. i finished in 3 hours and 22 minutes. out of 2500 runners, i was ahead of 199 of them. but guess what? i ran/walked/jogged/crawled my way to to the finish line. and now i proudly sport my 13.1 sticker on my car (just like all dem otha runnas)!

i felt super. my superpower was going slow but by golly, i completed a freaking half marathon :)

    Way to go! A friend of mine and I dressed up as superwoman for our first half this year too! It's the best way to do a half - everyone cheers for you!

    Great job! :flowerforyou: (love the outfit!)

    Can I ask you how you got into running? I have always felt like it was just so uncomfortable, but I really would consider it if that horrible feeling (like a turtle going through peanut butter) would eventually go away.

    You are too awesome for words. Best outfit and pose ever, and you almost make me want to start running (which is good because I have to learn to run to earn my "swim/bike/run" sticker like all the other triathletes. YOU ARE AMAZING, congrats.

    Congrats! I completed a half marathon yesterday, few more than the 2500 that joined you, I had 55000! Brilliant day, got round in 3.01.50 which is not a personal best but is 30 mins quicker than my
    2010 run!

    It's an awesome feeling isn't it, just knowing you have done it all by yourself

    Congrats again!! :flowerforyou: :drinker: :happy:
