I ran my first 1/2 marathon yesterday. I ended up training for 20 weeks using the "Smartcoach" on www.runnersworld.com. My goal time was 1:53:36 (8:40 pace.) I finished in 1:50:37 (8:27 pace.) My legs and feet are sore, and I'm still a little sleepy...but I'm quite proud of myself and wanted to share.

    Way to go. I also did a half on Sunday ...BUT...not my first and not as fast (2:07:18 for me). So you definitely have my respect! Congrats on a great accomplishment.
