I ran the half-marathon this morning. It was ok. I can't say it was fun. I had fun for 11 miles and then I was like I want to be done right now not in another 2 miles. Maybe I only trained to run 11 miles not 13.
My cousin Melissa ran it with me and that was good. We talked a lot of the way and just enjoyed the scenery. She kept me going.
If I ever ran another one here is what I would do differently:
Eat more for breakfast
Not play soccer the night before, my hamstring was sore before I started running
Don't drink caffeine a half hour before trying to go to bed
Sleep in my own bed
Bring food to eat while running, goo or something
Wear matching clothes there were camera men everywhere
Afterwards we went to Red Robin. It was delicious. Dan would not get out of bed to cheer me on and take pictures but he came to the post run feast.

Congrats Lan! I'm glad you're still alive and well.
Congrats! I'm glad to see you went to Red Robin afterwards...:)
Congrats! That is so awesome! I am so proud of you. I am going to start training for a measley little 5K I a few months and I will keep your tips in mind. Here's to hoping for the best.
You did it! and Melissa too I'm so proud of you both. The most I ever ran at one time was 10 miles and I agree with your tips for next time. I was hungrier than usual for three days after I ran the 10 miles (must have totally depleted my glycogen stores). Congratulations to you!
CONGRATS!! I'm glad you did it and I can't believe you played soccer the night before. You're crazy. :)
Way to go!! You are so awesome!! And Red Robin . . . what a great post run treat!
