I FINISHED MY FIRST HALF MARATHON TODAY!!!!!

I finished in 2:02... SO EXCITED!! I got a terrible stitch around 8 and so had to walk 5 minutes... kind of upset because I know I could have easily gotten under 2 hours, otherwise. But now I have something to aim for, right??

Just had to share! I've been grinning ear to ear all day! (From the couch, of course...!)

    Well done, if you hadn't stopped and sorted out the stitch you could have been walking for longer at 9miles.
    It's a goal to smash next time:)

    I actually have a spreadsheet set up where I have all my runs from last year, their distance and the time taken, I am trying to do the same runs this year so I can compare times (not overly impressed at one of the runs changing their distance from 10k to 10miles)!!

    That is FANTASTIC! You must be so proud of your accomplishment!
  • Congrats! That is a goal of mine for this year. I finished therapy for a severe case of plantar faciitis...so I am starting all over. Congrats to you, and keep it up!
