Well, I did it! I ran my first half-marathon (http://www.torontowaterfrontmarathon.com). I have to confess, I've signed up for this same run the past 3 years and I've always chickened out. So it feels that much better to have finally completed it. I thought my legs were not going to carry me any further at about the 16km mark. I made it though. It helps with all of the fans on the sidelines cheering everyone on. I guess you could say, I've made a PB (no, not peanut butter....Personal Best), I think that counts even thought it is my first run ever. haha. I did it in 2:02 which is a lot better than I expected. I am planning on running the Toronto Women's half in May with some girlfriends. Should I try to make a new PB or just have fun and run with the girls? I've got time to figure that out. And time to train. I feel motivated to sign up for running room training for a full marathon. Has my mind and body already deleted the memories of pain and exhaustion from yesterday's run??
You have to have a bit of crazy in you to run that far. So I probably qualify on that front. We'll see...
PS. This is a video. It was supposed to be a photo op, but the guy I asked to take my picture cannot use an iphone properly and took a video by accident! oh well.
