I ran a half marathon this morning. (13.1 miles) My goal for 2011 was to break 2 hours, and this is the first one I've run this year. I haven't trained much since my marathon 6 weeks ago, so I wasn't too confident I'd be able to do it, but I figured I'd give it a shot.

I finished in 1:58:28! :thankyou That's an average pace of 9:02. I surprised myself!

Now I need lots of food, a hot shower, and a NAP!

PS: This is totally what I looked like when I finished: :imok
 
wow!!! huge congratulations!!!! what a fabulous accomplishment!!!

Im gonna go back to sitting here and feel like a lazy looser now.....
 
Wow! Great job! Not only could I not finish one, I could never run at that pace for that long! I don't even have that great of a pace for a 5K! You're amazing! :)
 
Great job Angie! and great time. . . my goal in 2012 is to finish under 2 hours. My best this year was 2:08. Get some rest and drink drink!
 
Thanks, all! I took the hardest nap on the couch I barely knew what day it was.

Now I have to go run 3 miles with the people I coach in the evenings. Argh. Luckily they're still pretty slow.
 
That is SO awesome, Angie!! Congratulations!!!

(I'm still teaching myself how to love running, so posts like these are an inspiration!)
 
YAY - that is AWESOME!!! Great job - seriously - a pace of 9:02 - AMAZING!!! I'm so happy for you because I know how that accomplishment feels on a much smaller scale (3.1 miles!) :)

You'll get there! I started 2.5 years ago, and 60lbs heavier. If I can do it, you can do it! My first 5k was 37+ minutes, and my first half was 2:54. Big improvement comes quickly once you get going!
 
that's fantastic! i completely 100% admire runners. wish i were a runner. but i stink at it.
huge congrats on your time!! that's amazing! hope you enjoyed your dinner after that!
