The 1/2

So....I went to the Gobbler Grind so that I could run the 5K portion of the race....I had already paid, and so I got a free shirt and such. The course is all the same, so I intended to quit after 3 miles....well, I didn't. I kept going. I ran the half marathon. 13.1 miles. In full. I took my friend Ryanne's advice and every time there was a water station I walked for about 1 min to 90 seconds to give my ankles and knees a break. It proved to help. My ankles and knees didn't act up a bit. My calf and quad muscles, on the other hand, are VERY sore. I can hardly walk and it's only been an hour. Woops. Before today I had never run farther than 8 miles. I feel proud. My total time was 2 hours 19 mins and 20 secs. Pretty respectable if you ask me :)
