13.1 Miles and still alive

This last weekend I checked the Half Marathon off of my bucket list.  I didn't train for very long, but I was still able to complete it in 1:43.17 which I was rather happy with.  I had never run that far competitively before and I had a great experience.  Granted there was a guy who beat me by over 20 minutes but I was still happy.  I ran a little bit competitively in high school, but this was completely different.  I did not realize how mental running was.  Not only was I trying to do math to make sure I was running a good pace, I kept having to encourage myself to keep going.  All in all I had a great experience and I am going to try to do another one real soon.  Maybe even a full marathon.  This time I am going to wear a watch though.
