I run my first half-marathon yesterday!! π₯³ππ€£
(My previous max. distance was 13km)
I didn't plan it especially after 2 awful weeks when I was really tired with sore knee. But felt so good yesterday, inspired by lovely evening and 'Born to Run' and I just kept running. I went very slow and careful on my knees but I did it!! Still can't believe I achieved what was unachievable not so long ago... after 20 sedentary years I started C25K in August last year and fell in love with running π
So proud of myself!

Wow!!!!
This is a monumental achievement. Congratulations. Those last 2-3 miles are so tough but you have done it.
Yes, they were tough!! They were moments I took a walking break and my legs were so sore when starting to run... energy levels were ok but my legs were sore... but I did it! For a long time I felt I didn't push myself enough - not anymore!π€£
Congratulations Trawa, that's amazing you've got every right to be proud of yourself as we all are. That first HM distance is a memory you'll treasure forever π₯³π₯³π₯³π₯³π₯³π₯³π₯³
