Marathon Runners!

[nismos14]

I ran my first marathon yesterday, well it was a 1/2 marathon and maybe my last - the aftermath of pain sucks!!

Anyways, it was my first and I went into it with the following expectations / hopes:

Maintain 11min 30sec pace.
Don't stop running through the whole 13.1 miles
Finish within 2hrs 45mins


The result:
Avg 10min 31sec per mile
Never walked
Finished in 2 hrs 17mins 51secs!

I'm not marathon runner but I'd say that's pretty good. As well as beating your goal. Good Job!

Congratulation, you are now a Runner!!! That is a good pace for a first one!

I also did a 1/2M over the weekend, trail one. Long story short that was there first one that this group put together. The was a 5,10, 1/2M and 50k going on at the same time. Directions were not that great... Got lost and end up running 16miles, well i walk/run the last 4m. Finish in 3:15 trail run are a a beast!

Pretty awesome you were able to run without walking and set your first PR!!!

Congrats on beating your goal!

If I ever decide to run one, I'll remember to set my "goal" low. :zombie:

did you know that running that far puts the same stress on your heart as having a heart attack and its actually bad for you =)
