Yesterday, I ran my first half marathon! I finished at 3:17:56, and I was 8072 out of 8095, but I ran a half marathon! My legs hurt like hell, but I ran a half marathon! (Can you tell I'm proud of that?!)

Brilliant! Half marathons are the perfect distance (because I said so) and you've run one. You may find that one leads to more, though...0 -
You did good for a first marathon. Half is still a marathon. Congratulations!0

Did you get good race bling?
Congratulations on your first half marathon.
They are super addicting. I'm working on training for my 9th half marathon in April and then I have number 10 on Thanksgiving day. Well, unless I find another one to run before Thanksgiving. If you're looking for a good training plan for your next half, check out Hal Higdon or RunnersWorld beginner half marathon training plans. The C2 plans are also good.
And again, congratulations!!0 -
Congratulations......0

Awesome! You are a marathoner!
I am training for my 3rd in April.
I always say this is my last one.......but somehow get suckered back in.0 -

Didn't you feel fantastic when you did it? Take your bib and write the time on it and get ready for the next one.0

Excellent! Very well done lad :-)
Spooky timing to read this thread. I asked a friend this morning if she'd like to train with me to run a half marathon :-) We're both fat and unfit, so it's something to aim for! I think we'll start with a 5k, then a 10k, then a half marathon :-)0 -
AMAZING!0

You know what they call the guy that graduates last in medical school? Doctor ! The point is it doesn't matter if you were first or last you still did it - amazing job my friend.0
-
WAY TO GO! Mine is in 2 weeks and I am TERRIFIED. I couldnt even run for 5 minutes without wanting to die when I started Couch to 5k in October..but I think I'm ready..as long as I don't psych myself out!!0
