    I don't know you but I've been where you are. Congratulations on finishing your first!! Finishing my first was one of the most thrilling experiences I have had. I remember laughing uncontrollably as I crossed the finish line. Couldn't believe I did it. :-) Time to celebrate!! And hydrate!!!

    That is FABULOUS! Your first and a sub 2? WOW! I'll be doing my fourth at Notre Dame in South Bend IN on June 2 and I am hoping to get under 3.

    For those of you that are just starting out, get the training in, hydrate, have the small energy boosting things for in the middle and go for it. More and more half marathons are making room for those who walk good parts of the way, or who run slower. It is a major feat no matter what speed you run at - the winning comes from crossing that finish line.

    Congratulations Brooke and what a great time! My first 1/2 marathon is not until August, so I will be battling the cold mornings with you! What an amazing achievement, well done!

    Lovely! You are an inspiration. Had a reality check on my running ability today. But after reading your today I will buck up again.

    Brooke, I'm so proud of you! Through all those obstacles (and a pharmacist's incredulity), you powered through! You deserve to celebrate - you've worked so hard! You are such a great motivator for so many people on here and we're all celebrating with you this weekend.

    Congrats! My wife also completed her very first 1/2 marathon in 2 hours and 24 minutes.
    I promised her that I will one day join her.
