    I ran the 1/2. My first time (probably last too). Ive never run that far in my life. After mile 10, it got tough. I don't know how anyone can do the full 26.

    Finished in 1:55:02. Under 2hrs, I was happy with it.

    Congratulations, man. How much preparation did you have to do for that?

    Thanks.

    About 3 months. Although I exercise regularly, Im not a runner other than the occasional 5K. Found a program I liked online and followed it for about 8 weeks. The last 4 weeks I repeated week 8 because the plan increases your miles each week and it takes too damn long to run 10 plus miles twice a week!

    My goal was to do it in under 2 hours and mission accomplished. So that was my first...and LAST... 1/2 marathon. Back to the shorter, easier stuff.

    :thumbsup:
