I finished my very first half marathon in 2 hours and 17 minutes.... and I am pretty proud - its a huge accomplishment for me I had never run that far and was half expecting to have to get picked up by the shuttle (they pick you up if you fall under a 15 min per mile pace overall) but I actually did really pretty well. Better in fact than I had initially anticipated or hoped for. The run took place in Moab Utah which was gorgeous, we ran through a box canyon next to the Colorado river and it was awesome. Also, I did the run while sleep deprived as my 11 month old son was up for most of the night with a fever (he got a little virus that pretty much got better the next day). And my left boob really hurt the whole race because it was engorged as a result of munchkin nursing a lot more because he was sick and then me having to leave early in the morning. ( my boobs haven't been engorged like that since he was like 3 months old) And all 3000 participants had to wait outside in the cold for 1 1/2 hours before the start of the race (there was no sun because of the canyon) I really should have brought warmer sweats with me.
anyway it was a fucking incredible experience!!!
