I did the half marathon Sunday, my first one ever. Did it in 2.28.28. Pretty rubbish, but I was just happy to finish it. I didn't do any training and wasn't planning on going through with it until the evening before.
I got to the 8 mile mark without stopping in about 1hr15mins, before stopping and walking a minute or two, but I wish I hadn't. I just couldn't get started again after that. Stopped and started about 10 times until the finish.
It's really made me want to take it seriosuly, put some training in for next year and try and shave at least 20 minutes off my time.
Really enjoyed it aswell. I didn't quite realise the work and organisation that gets put into it. Amazing atmosphere. My dad watched me over the line and is thinking about giving it a go next year, he loved it.
