2:53 mins. My goal was 3 hrs.

I'm now down 46lbs this year and accomplished something I never would've imagined I could do even a year ago.

Yes this is a not so subtle brag thread. Yes I might get the 13.1 sticker for my car. Suck it haters.

I have a 0.0 sticker, and I guarantee you I'm in better shape than 90% of all the other 40 yr olds!

Congrats

Were you a runner before or worked your way up over the year? If the latter, quite impressive

But seriously though, don't do the sticker.
But doing your first is something to be very proud of, just don't let it be your last. Keep up the good work.

Congrats man. I'm sure many will talk shite but most who do couldn't run 13.1 miles to save their lives, especially in 3 hours. I'm hoping to do my first full next year

Thats like a pace of a 14 minute mile, right? It doesn't seem much faster than walking......

Prior to February, I had never run longer than 5 miles. My 29 year old cousin passed away last November from cancer. She loved to run. A bunch of my family ran the Rock and Roll half earlier this year, and I couldn't because I was so ridiculously out of shape.

Ran the CCC in the spring, kept it up through the summer, ran my first sub 30 min 5k a month and a half ago, and just did my first half. It won't be my last. Already signed up for the Rock and Roll next year, and trying to convince myself I could do an Ironman 70.3. I already cycle, swim would be a bitch.

I believe my pace was 12:45ish including water refills and a piss stop.

Like I said, hate away. I'm freaking pumped. I know everyone on the OT can go out and run a sub-2hr marathon and all, but ive come a long way in 10 months.

And don't worry 777, I'm not getting the sticker. I know it's on the list.

Make sure you post this on facebook so several other people will hear about your accomplishment and pretend to care by liking your status.

Aw, who am I kidding, we all know that you have already done that.
