So...I decided in February to attempt a half marathon and signed up for the Run Like A Diva half in Myrtle Beach, CA.
My main goal was to finish without getting picked up by the gimp van (if you aren't able to finish in 3:30:00)...I completed it in 2:47:27 (with water/bathroom breaks included)!!!!
I hurt...but am proud of myself, and fully enjoying the rest of my RUMDAY. Ooops, I mean, Sunday!

Congratulations. Great accomplishment and you wore a tutu also. :-)
I did the Run Like a Diva in San Francisco and regret not wearing a tutu.0 -

I might take a break for a week or two
but I WILL continue running...it is all I have been doing since February and the main reason (along with tracking my food) for losing almost 22 pounds! I think I'll scale back to some 5/10Ks for a bit and hit another half in the fall 0 -
Great job! That's such an awesome accomplishment!0

Good luck! Don't let your mind get in the way...I hit a wall around 10.5 and was having a hard time shaking it. I loved that there were so many people out there just to cheer us along0 -

Let's calm down with the crazy 'full marathon' talk...I don't know how anyone could run that far! I'd have to take a WEEK OFF OF WORK! For now, I'll try to speed up some of my shorter races 0 -
I am so impressed. What an awesome and well earned achievement.
And you glow!0 -
Such an awesome job! You should be proud. I agree with a poster above, you *are* glowing.0

Awesome job. You should be proud.0 -
Great job! Did you follow some kind of half marathon training plan? I've done a few 5ks and a 10k and plan on doing my first half marathon in the fall. I'm looking for a plan to follow, but there are so many out there. Thanks for the inspiration!0

Congrats on your race! It looks like a really fun event!0

I'll send you an email with the site I used...before this, the furthest I had run was about 5 miles for a mud run, but that was last year, so it brought me from about 1.5-2 miles to 13.1!0 -
Sooo jealous! That looks like so much fun! I'd love to do the one in Hawaii. Maybe I can talk hubby into a vacation... :-p0
