Today i ran my first ever half marathon! It felt so much longer than i thought lol. At 8 miles i could have sworn i was at the 11mile point only to be told i still had about 5miles to go, Bummer!
But yes, so i came i saw and i conquered. Nothing is impossible if you set your mind to it. I made a goal this year to run a half marathon to the end and i accomplished it.

No bad for a first timer lol, no worries next one, i shall train for more speed.
hubby and i before the race, gotta love him for waking up at 5am to drive me down and for supporting me throughout my training period
Yayyyy made it! floor pose.
Had to get some sugar in my system after.
This was my training schedule for my half marathon. I modified it some weeks that i had to do less runs. I like it because it implements rest days and also CT cross training. However i sometimes wanted more strength training so i used most of my rest days to lift weights at the gym.
I am glad to be done with my first ever half marathon!
Congratulations!! 9 1/2 min. Miles?? Stellar
