I ran the Womens Half Marathon on Sunday the 4th. Finished in 3 hrs and 19 minutes and averaged a 15.1 minute mile with one potty stop and a stop for nutrition. I felt so good when I finished. Last year I was so excited when I reached 4 miles. Never dreamed I could get this far.

I think 5 and 10ks are amazing but a 1/2 marathon is totally unbelievable. Hurray for you. Finishing is winning and you won big time!!!!

Congratulations Lin. That is so awesome!! How long did you train for this? I've done a 10K and several 5K's, but can't imagine doing a half marathon.

I was running 4 miles last October. I started training at the end of May. I only ran up to 5 miles 3 x week and on Sunday did a long run getting up to 10 miles two weeks before the run. It was fun

Congratulations I am not a runner, but my DH is, he did his first 1/2 marathon a few weeks ago. He did a 10k this morning. He says that when you set a distance goal and then meet it, it is a victory. He is registered for another 1/2 marathon on the anniversary of his VSG, 12/9. Isn't is amazing how out surgery has changed lives? Again, congratulations on this major accomplishment.
