I ran my very first half in Detroit on Sunday.  I trained to run it in 2:15:00, so I was very happy with my 2:06:31 finish.  I even felt like I could have finished in under 2:05 if it hadn't been for all those people in my way on the Ambassador Bridge and Windsor Tunnel :)

My next goal is to finish a half in under 2 hours, and I plan to run a full marathon in May as long as I still have the courage.

Really cool! I'm not sure I could do it. Just completed my first 5k and actually started wondering about the half. Good luck!

Please consult your surgeon & nutritionist for how to do it their way.  Biggest regret? Not doing this 10 years ago! Every day is better than the day before...and it was a pretty great day!
