Furthest distance I've ever ran. Been only running 6 miles and intervals before i ran this. Finished at 1 hour 43 minutes and 56 seconds. About an 8 min mile pace. Last mile definitely sucked for me haha. Running against the wind sucks.

    Jeez, make me feel like a loser why don't you!! Haha jk, I ran my 2nd half marathon yesterday at about a 12 minute mile pace. It's slow, but I didn't walk at all (aside from this one horrible hill---where I live it is like hill central), and I'm not too sore today. Great job!

    That's awesome, as long as you didn't walk and you finished. All you can do is improve on that pace.

    Wow, kick *kitten*! That's an awesome time. I have my first this weekend, hoping for sub 2 hours which would put me a hair over the 9minute mile mark.
