I made it through my first 1/2 Marathon yesterday. Looking back the smart thing would have definitely been to do a 1/2 before I tackled the full last summer. Eh, I don't always do things in order anyway.
It was perfect running weather Sunday morning and the course was awesome. No highway running Tawsha...probably the best part! Though my iPod was dead as soon as I crossed the finish line and I was nearly trampled, tripped and elbowed during the start (I mean really, no wave start? Come on Denver.) I finished in 2 hours and 13 minutes...all 13.24 miles! I was hoping to finish in 2:10 but am so proud of myself for the time I did get. Even better, I'm still mobile! My knees don't hate me and even though I have some tired and sore muscles, I think I'll be ready to run again later next week. Woohoo.
Can't wait for the next TNT season to begin!
You're hard core, my friend. I'm so proud of you. Yes, you're right...no highway...I would have loved it!
