Mercy me....I actually did it!!

I just arrived home from a 21km run!!! It took me 2 hours and 25 minutes and 22 seconds- a little slower than I was hoping for, but actually, I'm just amazed that I actually survived. My GPS watch calculated that I should have burned (this is funny), a whopping 1452 calories! That is probably everything I ate today and half of what I ate yesterday! Ha! That explains the rather explosive urge I felt to eat everything inside my pantry when I got home!

Kind of wondering now if I should call that my half marathon (since 21k is the actual distance in a half marathon), and just skip the Mississauga Half Marathon in May. Right now my body is screaming "NEVER AGAIN, YOU CRAZY WOMAN!!!", and every movement feels like a hundred times more effort than normal. I think I will

well tonight. Hopefully I can move in the morning! :)

Congratulations,that is quite a feat and don't apologize for that time. That's the same time it takes me to do seven miles, only half that distance, and I'm worn out when I'm finished. I can only hope for your stamina.

Bravo!

That is amazing, you must feel so proud. I hope you are okay in the morning, not too stiff.

Thanks guys. If I actually had enuogh energy left, I would do a happy dance. I am soooooo proud of myself. I started out running 3 min/ walking one minute, and remember my first 5k race. It felt wonderful. Somehow I just kept builing on that and now here I am. My how times have changed!!
