I dont usually like to AW, but my H is still sleeping and I really want to share with someone how my race went!

I ran a local half marathon this morning. I ran it last year as my first half ever and was pleasantly happy with my time. In less than a year, I've managed to shave 13 minutes off my half time! Even a few weeks ago in training, I was running around a 2:11.

I managed to pull off a 2:06 and place 2nd on my age group! I was feeling really defeated in the last mile, because I was hurting (sore) and wondering how I'm going to survive my first marathon in 2 months. But then when I saw my results, it somehow made it all better.

Great job! It's always fun to look back & realize how much you've improved your times from year to year.

P.S. I think a half always feels "long" even if I run a great race & I'm doing it in prep for a marathon. It's strange, but somehow even when 13.1 feels hard (if you've put in the training) you really will be ok for 26.2 on race day.
