Congratulations on your race!!!! I ran my first half marathon this weekend too. It was on 10-2! I know what you mean about the high and the sore muscles!! We all got medals for finishing and I ran it a lot faster than I ever thought possible! I ran thorugh hs and college and kept it up off and on throughout the years. I always wanted to do a half but just never got up the courage to do one! Then in July a dear man lost his struggle to cancer. He had just done a half iron man a month before he passed away. He lived his life with such courage, determination and lived life like there was no tomorrow! He inspired me beyond measure so in July I began to take it to the next step and seriously train. On Saturday, I ran for him! It was a life altering moment and I dont think I will ever be the same!! Looks like we both hit milestones. Congrats to you!!!!!!!!!![]()
Thanks!! And congrats to you, as well!!
What an inspiring story! I'm sitting here with a big grin on my face, just thinking about the weekend. It's definitely something for the memory book. Keep up your training, and hopefully we'll see each other at a WDW race in the future!
And if you don't already know, there is a section of DIS called WISH, where there are tons of threads for runners and walkers to converse.I apologize to jordak, milliepie, and tjbaggott for hijacking your thread for a moment there!!
