Initial Half Marathon

So today I ran my first half marathon. I decided, rather foolishly, that I didn’t need to train for this because heck…I’ve run 5ks and 10ks for a long time now, what’s another couple of miles. Those extra couple of miles do make quite a big difference. It was quite a painful process but when I have now learned from. My knees are sore but that is all.

I had no problem with the pacing of the run, my legs simply got tired and felt like soggy wool socks that you can’t take off because then your feet will freeze. Not quite the analogy I wanted but that’s okay. I’ll try again some other time.

Update: I also won this really sweet medal and my legs don’t hurt nearly as much today… so I’ll probably run another half marathon sometime in the future after more training.
