after weeks of training i ran my first half-marathon today and finished in 2:09:39. i wanted to finish in less that 2:15 so i was thrilled. in fact, if i had not been running late getting there in the morning and thus been able to use the bathroom before the race started and if i had not lost my mp3 player (it fell out of it’s holder) three times during the race, i think i would have been close to breaking 2 hours.

i’ve already signed up for my first marathon and i will start training tomorrow.

this thing was so worth doing.
