Closing out the year with one last half marathon!
This was possible thanks to a friend setting up a socially distant run series for the last few months of the year with a few friends. I've gotten back into a running routine thanks to having a run or two a month where I get to see people, even briefly. Hoping I can keep it up in the new year but I won't be too hard on myself if it doesn't work out
Spooky 6.66 mile run today
It was very cold this morning and that was annoying at the start but helpful as the run went on. Good day
First marathon completed!
It was tough. It was too hot and humid, I nearly puked. My angry ankle hurts more than before too, though it's hard to notice with all the other aches and pains. I'm starting to worry there's a good chance I'll lose one of my toenails. And I'm already thinking about doing it again next year 😁
The medal is at least as big as my head! And heavy too. Too heavy right after finishing the race.
Fourteen Miles
I've officially done the length of a half marathon! Plus a little extra. Got some blisters, socks got wet from several puddles, was exhausted, and that last mile was completed at a jog vs walk thanks only to the company I had (and my desire to not be seen as a wimp). I'm so proud of myself and still cannot quite believe I did it. It seems like so much, and it was, but it's something I could do and did. 🎉
18 miles ran in one go!
Averaged just below an 11min mile pace. It was a really great run for me 😁
Next week is a chill 12 then another 18 (that we might make a 20) then a chill 14 and a final 20 (that we might make 22) before the taper begins. Things are getting close!
20 miles completed!
In just shy of 4 hours. Not bad, if I say so myself. I need to stretch and foam roll more today, cause I got tight again overnight, but not a bad run. Worst part... I missed a spot when I put body glide on my thighs and I've got some chafing that is gonna be annoying.
Barely more than a month away from the marathon! I can do it!
PS- for any anime loving run nerds, Run Like The Wind is a great watch. I think it's on VRV? I'm debating rewatching it to psych myself up more for my race
My first half marathon has been completed!
The weather was not ideal (warm and humid - by running standards) but even with that, I finished less than 5 minutes behind my goal. Took approximately 2 hours and 34 minutes, official times aren't out yet.
12 miles ran today!
That's a new record and it's basically a half marathon. It was also definitely one of my toughest runs to date. Got a minor cramp less than halfway into the second mile. Luckily it worked itself out but I wasn't sure what to do, was along my shin. Felt weird. Ankles and right knee are a bit sore so I iced them and now I'm in bed with a pup until visiting family wants to hangout.
But I did it! With the company of friends, I didn't even walk any of it 😁
