50k race

I have not posted here in a very long time but I wanted to share one of the hardest things I have ever done in my life and that was run a 50k race today. I finished strong and felt like I could have kept going. I was not sure if I wanted to post this but I want people to realize if you truly want to take up running you can do it. I started running 2 minutes of running and 1 minute of walking. What ever you your goal is if you truly want it do the work and it can happen. It did for me today.

Congrats! You are right, one step at a time.

Hey Highlandbear, good to see you posting again.  Well done on the race, that's a great NSV.

it has been awhile. Been so busy training

Way to go!

Glad to see you back posting. %0km is an amazing achievement. Congratulations!!

Thanks now I think about half ironman and save the money for that one. That is to celebrate me turning 55.  I may be a slow runner but i love the long distance

Can't wait to see your training posts for your HIM!! Have you decided which one you will do? So expensive! The full is $750 bah!

Looking at Ottawa or The barrel man. Ottawa I hear is in Aug and barrel man in sept. I have to make up my mind.

do you know the name of the one in Ottawa or did it and what they thought of it. 

Ottawa this year was September 3rd. Probably goes by when the long weekend is. I don't know anyone who did the distance there. I know many of my tri friends who have done Barrelman. They like it. Neither are Ironman brand races, so it will be a bit different, if that matters to you. Same distance though. My first half was in Peterborough, when they still had it, and it wasn't Ironman branding either.
