I RAN A HALF MARATHON ON SATURDAY!!!!
Wow. I seriously can't remember a time i've been more proud! I ran 13 miles on saturday in just under 3 hours. I took a little Immodium AD before the run, and my tummy, muscles and lungs all feel fantastic. I kept up my 3:1 run/walk pace the whole time. Alex and I stuck together and we did it! She's the best running partner ever. we talk the whole time, it goes by so fast. I love when you're running and you see other runners and they go "YAY Team in Training! When's the Marathon?" always so friendly. I feel a part of the "running community" if there is such a thing. I love it. The best is when people see you running and they go "Oh, the San Francisco Marathon.. how far is that?" haha... its 26.2 miles no matter what marathon you run. but maybe its just nice people making conversation.
So now that I know i can run 13 miles, pretty much without breaking a sweat, i'm really glad that I am doing the Full Marathon. I would have been disappointed doing a half i think. I am really glad I am challenging myself to do the full. My New watch is awesome. It tells me when to walk, when to run, what my pace is, its so cool. I love it.
Note to self: Don't buy Orange gatorade so when i spill it on myself while running, i wont get it all over my white tank top.
