Ran a Half-Marathon this morning

This was my first race, and I had a blast. It's this trail run with a whole lot of hills. 24 km, 2:08:53 time.

I'm still kind of revelling in that post-running high.

 

damn that is amazing . .

 

yeah but....did he run it backwards???

 

Gozzam! I says Goddam!!! Good for you!

I ran 45 minutes this morning. 1:15 minutes two days ago

It's easy now that I quit smoking. But there is no high like running high

 

i don't think i've ever run much more than a mile at one time, and i don't particularly expect to at any point in the future.

good for you though.

 

sounds like a fun race

and prax, runners high is good and all, but i have had better highs from other physical activities. runners high is pretty low on my list

 

sex

 

i think the physical activity that has gotten me the highest is physically placing a particular piece of paper on my tongue...

 

pretty high, but not the highest

its actually when i get the chance to pick someone up and drill them into the ground and watch as there head bounces up off the ground

 

There is that.

Then there is body-builder's high. Which is good.

But the best high for me is the high of overcoming a challenge in real life. Or at least in sports.

 

That's an amazing Sitka. You must be pretty fit.

I have been procrastinating since my birthday that this year is going to be the year of fitness for me.

Started running this morning.

 

I placed 21 out of 45 guys, 27 out of 91 overall. Good enough that I wasn't embarassed by anybody that beat me - no octogenarians showing me how it was done.

 

The first half or the second

 

my dad did that right up to his 65th birthday, now he rollerblades his half marathons. keep it up, it'll treat you well.

 

i really wanna do this one of these days. i need a suitable place to start running again though. i'm not much for trail running, i prefer running on sidewalks, lol!

 

Good Job!

Half Marathon is my longest run I have ever done..but I have hiked 20+ miles many times..anyway, the half marathon I did, I did it barefoot..not the wisest idea, my feet were hamburger by the time I hit the finish line.

 

oooh, i don't... i had minor shinsplints once. i enjoy running and working out but i prefer sports, especially soccer.

 

lol... and soccer's gonna be better for shinsplints? i mostly prefer running on indoors rubber tracks. that's nice on my knees and my legs and stuff. plus it's nicely climate controlled.

 

haha very true, but i like the scenery and variety as well! it doesn't seem like such a task, to me, when i'm running in circles. but alas, i have had to befriend the treadmill as of late.

 

i like the elliptical... it's so nice on the knees, and it's bouncy...
