I just recently ran my first half marathon. I trained for 11 weeks and averaged about 20 miles a week. I have to say I am not sure if the training or the half was more fun
It was a great run and I came in at my goal time, but really just finishing was the goal! I am really excited about completing my first half. A year and a half ago I couldn't even run a mile so I am happy of where I have come from! Heres a photo of my victory!

Congrats!! When I started running two years ago I couldn't run a mile without stopping and now I have done three half marathons. I have become one of those people I never understood who looks forward to running!0

See? Now that's inspirational to me. I had a car accident a few years ago and I couldn't run until recently. I just began a running program and it's been helping me with my weight loss also, but I'm doing the Rock 'n Roll 1/2 marathon in September!!!
Kudos to you, girl!0
