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!  :)

amazing ! You should be so proud of yourself, running 21 kms must have seemed impossible at one time, and look at you now!! all the best with your marathon, incredible.

congrats

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!!

 Way to go girl!   You are my hero! Just thinking about your success is mind boggling for me. 

 Way to go Marny!

 Wow! Congratulations!

That is something else, wow!!! Congrats to you.
Sleep well.
