Hello fellow Cathletes!!

I did my 11th half marathon today and I set a new personal record, woohoo!! 2:32:08 :)

I know that's not very impressive compared to the times that some of y'all have been able to get, but I'm not a very fast runner, so for me, this is a biggie LOL.

Just wanted to share my joy with you all!!
 
Congratulations! I think just doing a half marathon is an amazing accomplishment, let along 11! Good for you! :D

Congrats!
ANd it doesn't matter a bit that someone might be faster than you are. The only thing that counts is your personal improvement.
Great job!

I'm not sure I'd have the mental stamina to go 1/2 marathon distance!
 
way to go!

That's what I love about running for pleasure...the only true competition you have is yourself! You did great!

Very true, Julie :). I have no designs on trying to keep up with others (although I will confess that when I finally decided to do my first marathon, it was because I wanted to beat Katie Holmes' time at the NYC Marathon--unfortunately, I haven't done it yet :p). But I do want to keep competing with myself and keep improving!
 
I'm training for my first 1/2 marathon....it's on Saturday. :eek::eek: My goal is to be able to run the entire 13.1 miles without running!!!!

Edited to say: my goal is to run without WALKING. lol must be "new mom syndrome" lol

Go Melanie!!! Keep us posted :).

I did run/walk for mine. I haven't gone further than 6 miles without doing the run/walk yet--maybe someday, or maybe never, I'm ok with it LOL. Just as long as my time keeps improving, I'll be happy!
