I AM a Half Marathoner!! (long post)
I was wondering if you made it down to the race. I'm glad you did. I also just wanted to finish, I did. I saw a race bib with these words "death before DNF" and that's what I would tell myself every time I wanted to drop out. So, no DNF for me. Mike hit a PR, beating his best time by 1 minute. He is now considering a full marathon. Me, I don't know if I will ever do this again, but I'm glad I did it at least once. If Mike & his running partner do the 1/2 in Oct. I may be there as the cheering section again, we'll see how it goes.
As for you, yes, you are a 1/2 marathoner , you became one in Oct. You became a rock star when you did this one. Rock on my friend.
Linda I thought about yall all weekend. I was like DAMN did I even send her the hotel. DAMN I hope she's ok etc etc. I'm glad you finished and ironically I never wanted to do one again. But obviously we know I signed up and I think THIS one made me feel like a MILLION BUCKS. I had so MANY mental blocks but I refused to give in and did it!!
I'll be doing the Half in LA in October. And if he considers doing the San Diego one I'll be there doing a half and my girlfriend Mandi will be doing the FULL!!
ROCK on girl!! Congratulations fellow Half Marathoner.
