My first half marathon this weekend
 

Hi guys

So it's my very first half marathon this weekend. I cant believe how far I've come. I remember the first time that I ran for two minutes without walking!!

I wrote a blog post about it if anyone is interested!

I'll be running the Old Mutual Two Oceans Half Marathon in Cape Town, South Africa :carrot:

Much love

Oh my, that is marvelous!!!
I can't imagine running for almost 3 hours!
Wishing you an excellent running time :)
You'll have to post a picture of yourself running or after the race.
Good luck!

Thanks veggiedawg I will do that!

Have fun! I ran my first half marathon about a month ago. :D It was supposed to be a one time thing - it was a girls weekend with friends to run the Princess Half at Disney World - but I somehow seem to have registered for a full marathon in December. :?:

You did the Princess Half? What a coincidence -- one of my friends from college was there too (it was also her first half-marathon.) She posted pics and it looked like SO much fun!

Wow! You are brilliant. :cp: I read this on the marathon page and I think it is superb - It is good to have an end to a journey but it's the journey that matters in the end. Enjoy and show us pics!

It was a blast! I did the 5K the day before too. It was really hot and humid though. Yuck!

Good luck, Kate!! So exciting for you!!

Good luck this weekend. Let us know how it goes for you.

I ran my first half a few weeks ago! You'll love it! Congratulations!

Good luck! You will have so much fun, I promise! Or at least you will when you finish and get the medal. LOL

I've done four now, and I've loved every one of them.

Hey guys thanks for the messages! I finished in 02:35:37 and I was so super tired. I write all my stuff on my blog so here is the link if you wana see the write up and photos! Excuse the way I look at the end I was DEAD lol.

Great work! A lovely smile of achievement there! :bravo:

:cp: Whoo hoo! Standing ovation!!!! :) :cp:

I was curious about the chafing...is that just your legs rubbing and would different shorts/pants help?

Congratulations!!! So inspiring!!!:cp::bravo::cp::bravo::cp:
