Today was a milestone run for me. Not because of the fact that I ran a half marathon on a weekend just to see if I can do it but because I had never been past 13.1 miles in a run.
I've run 3 half-marathon's in the past, winged all 3 of them and barely made it through each. This one was different, I went a little more than 13.1, 13.55 to be precise but for some reason it didn't translate completely from RunKeeper to my watch's reading. Anyhoo, I went a little farther just because I'd never done this much ever. I've done 13.1 but never again had I crossed that barrier and today was the day I wanted to do just that. Not too much but just cross that barrier. And so it was done. It felt great having hit the 13 mile marker after 2 years (In 2016 I did the SF first half marathon) and it was PR since I had been training this far and had the proper nutrition and hydration plan to go with it. Huzzah! |
