In the realm of what was I thinking?
I know I promised to keep this LJ mostly fic only with very little on the personal content side, but this? I had to share. After 8 weeks of training I can now report that I successfully finished my FIRST HALF-MARATHON! OMG! *falls over*
It was not my idea to do this (I *really* love my couch lol) but my friends wouldn't take no for an answer and now I'm glad they didn't.
13.1 miles!
My whole body hurts, I'm exhausted, and all I can think is "Next year I can go even faster..." There is something seriously wrong with me lol
I can't even describe how good it feels to haave actually accomplished this after starting 8 weeks ago and literally having to stop every twenty or thirty minutes to catch my breath. I made it to mile 9 before I had to stop because of a cramp and after that, I didn't stop again :-D Although note to the race planners - putting the path along a park with benches is just cruel lol. Kept walking by going "there's another bench I can't enjoy damn it..."
So, yay!
We now return you to your regularly scheduled fic reading...
