OMG!! I did a half marathon today!!!!!!

 And I have one question - what's the proper etiquette for passing out after a race?  LOL!!!!  Oh - and is crying allowed?

That was the most grueling, hardest and most intense thing EVER!!!!! And I am doing it again in San Antonio in 3 weeks........ it's getting harder to argue when folk call me stupid..... .lol

I did well pacing myself and staying hydrated - I was dehydrated yesterday so I got really serious and concerned and made sure I got fluids in all day yesterday and before the race today.  I just hate that I am so freaking SLOW!!!!! They haven't posted the official results yet, and there was no clock to view, but my friend that I run with finished WAAYYYY before me (as usual) - and I'm feeling like 'what's the use?'

The cops were waving the last of the pack to the sidewalk because they were opening the streets back up - talk about a DOWNER!!!! I thought I was keeping a good clip until then..... 

Ok - I gotta go - I'm starting a pity party this afternoon and don't wanna be late...... 

Don't be so down on yourself, a half marathon is a huge achievement! Way to go!

Congrats! Crying is fine. I cried every time I had a new long run over 14 miles. 14 - 16 - 18 - 20 - etc... Way to go.

Dude i'd be happy to run down the street!! You finished!!!!!!! DAYUM YOU RAN A HALF MARATHON AND FINISHED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and you are not dead!! Prolly lots of emotions going on after the adrenaline and everything else you had invested personally in the run too...

Way to go chick!!

Much Respect,
Robin

Congratulations on finishing your first half marathon.   Celebrate the accomplishment of pushing your body for 13.1 miles. 

My first marathon took me 5 hours and 55 minutes. It was fairly lonely at the finish, but I figured it was pretty amazing that I had kept myself moving forward almost 6 hours.  The winner ran less than half as long as I did, albeit "a little" faster. ;)
