I did it

[Johnnylewis]

Big milestone for me. I finally done the half marathon distance. Probaly not the fastest time in the world but I do not care 😁 I've never got over 14k. I had to stop a couple times to stretch my left Calf which released the pain in my left toes for a while

Congratulations on running your first Half Marathon JL, that is a milestone and wonderful achievement for you, remember to tell the administrators that you have ran a Half Marathon, then you will see the word s Half Marathon next to your username.

[Johnnylewis Graduate10 in reply to AlMorr]

Who is admin for that 😁

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to Johnnylewis]

I am a little surprised that Half Marathon isn't already next to your username, it's not the same as graduating from C25K or running a 10K when you have to tell the administrators that you have ran those distances, usually in the case of someone running 10 miles, a half or full marathon with a little proof of your run will put the distance next to your username, our friend Buddy34 also ran her first Half Marathon today and the words Half Marathon appeared next to her username quickly, perhaps you could privately tell one of the administrators that you ran a HM today, then you will see the magic words Half Marathon next to your username, you certainly deserve that, once again congratulations on running your first Half Marathon today. 😊 🏃🏾 🎓

A half marathon badge can only be given in the Marathon and race support forum, and only shows against your name in that forum. If you post over there, whoever spots it first will get your badge for you. Massive congratulations Johnny - that's a fantastic achievement and a huge jump from 14k. Hope the toes are feeling better now 😊

[HeavyFoot Graduate10]

Well done!! And that elevation gain shows it was no jog in the park as well. I may be wrong but I think you have ask for your half marathon badge on the marathon group.

Yes I've got my badge over there thanks 👍

[AliHC Graduate10]

CONGRATULATIONS Half Marathoner!!!

[Sortofrunning Graduate10]

Wow! Posts like this keep me trying. Thank you and great achievement!

[Leosmit Graduate10 60minGraduate]

Absolutely fantastic! And did you seriously just go from 14k to 21k?!? Incredible achievement. Always find it quite amusing how genuinely pleased I am for people, that I’ve never met, when I read of their achievements on the forum! Fantastic!

[Johnnylewis Graduate10 in reply to Leosmit]

Thankyou. Yes the furthest I've done is 14k. I've learnt so much about myself from that run. Now I have to fight the gremlins about going to next step. Marathon training 🤬🤬

[Leosmit Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Johnnylewis]

Really??!?! 7 k like that is a-Maz-ing!

Marathon training - I am in awe.

[Johnnylewis Graduate10 in reply to Leosmit]

Lol yeah honestly. I've always had a mental block cause of my left foot causing problems. I've worked round that and went for it. I think for the minute I'll concrete my 10miles and possibly push for 15. I'm not that Intrested in marathon running. I do like the idea of the training for it tho
