1/2 MARATHON

Hey yall, my running partner and I run our first 1/2 marathon race this coming Saturday. We've been training forever for it. We've run several other races in the past 5k's (3 miles), 10ks (6.3 miles), and the longest being a 15k (9 miles). So we decided to just try and accomplish this. A 1/2 is 13.2 miles, please pray that my legs won't detach themselves and start beating me for putting them through this torture!...lol

LOL!!! In traing the longest I ran was 12....by mile 9 I thought I was going to fall out, but I pushed through it and was done for the rest of the day....lol...My main objective is to finish it without walking.....We are trying to finish it in a little over 2 hours....we should accomplish that if we run 10 min. miles the whole way through....There will most likely be 80 years old flying past us but I don't even care.....as long as we complete it...I will be happy..

Thanks SO much for your well wishes Septbride....mean's alot....

[quote="housewife147"]Girl good luck. I can't even walk up my stairs without huffing and puffing. And Lord don't let me leave something downstairs and have to turn right back around.

[quote="Bumblebeekee"]HOUSE, Thats what that two-story dream house is for the birds...not for me....When I was real sick one summer, and was living in a townhouse, I was so sick and tired one night, I gave those stairs a quick look, and slept right on that couch! Best believe that right there........
