Ran my first Half Marathon yesterday!!!

[californiacasey]

I ran my first half marathon yesterday, the Pacific Shoreline Marathon!
And I rocked it : )

That’s 13.1 miles baby!

I ran it in three hours and fifteen minutes. So I averaged 15.10 per mile. I jogged the first 7 miles without stopping and then jogged most of the rest of it, with a little bit of walking in between.

It was awesome, really a huge accomplishment for me!

Okay, so my post is all about patting myself the back! : )

And I am a little sore today (okay maybe a lot sore!)

I would like to be the second person to give you a pat on the back, I am really pleased for you. Congratulations.

I bet even the sore legs is bearable, after the massive feat that you have accomplished.

Congrats again.

Well, I've been training for the LA Marathon, but I don't think I'm quite ready for it, so I think I'm going to pass (it is March 19th)...I think I might train for another half and then perhaps do a full (maybe in June). But I need to drop some more weight before I do a full marathon....

Yes, it felt great, and I had a much better run than I had anticipated too, so that was a welcome surprise. In fact my friends who came to cheer me on at the end, missed me finish because I finished an hour before I thought I would!!!
