I did it!!
I did it! I ran the half marathon! I am slowly trying to get back into running, and while it takes me forever to cover the distance, I am very stubborn!
The half marathon is 21.1km. I did 18km in 3hours and 10 minutes last weekend.
Today the run seemed hard. It was much hotter than usual and the sun was unforgiving. My tummy was upset, and I was running on 3 hours sleep. I had originally planned (based on my 18km time) that I'd cross the finish line at about 3:40ish. Well, when things were going so slowly to me, I actually though I was pushing 4 hours.
However, I think I was feeling worse than usual because I was pushing harder than I knew (races can be like that). I crossed the finish line at 3 hours and 17 minutes!!! Yay!!!!!
And now I'm off to bed!
