    Holly Cow!!! You did a 1/2 with only 3.5 months training?! Gee Wiz! AND you stopped training for a little while?! AND you still finished with a 8 minute and change mile?! UMmMMmm WOWZERS I wish I could say that. I started training the same time as you and I'm only at 6 miles in an hour. (10 minute mile)

    WAY TO GO!!

    Did you run before starting this training?

    YES, my first thought was how I could beat my time next year. I think I will be making Grandmas Half marathon an annual thing with my girls. What a great experience, and the party after should NOT be missed :)

    I did run before my training. I have done alot of 5k's, running on the treadmill, etc. but NEVER more than 3-5 miles and i run SLOW. my average pace per mile for the half was 11 minutes something. Slow and steady is how I run :)
