Well it is done! I finished my first half marathon and am now trying to recover. I finsished in 1:51:55. It was a challenging race but very fun. I truly left it all out on the race course. I have run several 10k races before but this one was considerably harder for me. I learned alot about preparing and running a race this go around. The pre race day eating and drinking schedule is huge (finding the right mix and amount). The week of training before the race day is huge (dont do too much!) Knowing the course is huge.
In any event, I am very pleased. I started to hit the wall at Mile 12 and lost about a minute on my time. I was able to run the entire distance. I am pretty proud of myself:)
I am loving my new lifestyle and look to particpate in abut 4 race events a year. I find it good motivation to keep up my routine and training schedule. Hopefully, I can run the full marathon next year:) I feel great! Keep up the hard work everyone and take time to enjoy your accomplishments.
