Man! That was by far the hardest thing I have done to date! Physically and mentally. There were a couple times I had to talk myself out of quitting. But…I finished! I am so proud of myself! Here’s a recap!
THE FINISH LINE! YAAAAY! I couldn’t get there fast enough!!
I had a orange juice muffin and coffee as a treat for finishing! I have to say it was the best thing ever (so was the shower I took afterwards too 
)
Overall, I had a good time. Being my first I didn’t expect it to be awesome, or easy, and it was neither. It will definitely be awhile before I do another. Need to get more 10K & 15K races under my belt first. However, since I trained for a 5k just this past March, I have came a LONG way! Had you told me I would be attempting a half marathon in November back then…I would have out right laughed in your face! My how things can change in just a few short months!
Although I am sooo very proud of you, I am naive about the whole 13.1 thing. I know it is a huge accomplishment, but I am mostly unfamiliar with the running world.
Congrats!!! I <3 U!!
It’s the miles. A half marathon in 13.1 miles and a full marathon is 26.2 miles. That’s all it means
Thanks! It was soooooo hard! Definitely had to channel God & Mom on this one. There’s nothing worse than fighting with yourself…but I won! LOL!
That is awesome!! You made it!!!! If you would’ve asked me 5 years ago about you running, I would’ve answered the same way for you as I would myself…… “only if I am being chased!” GO SHANNON!!!
