That's awesome cement, congratulations, I'm proud of you! Now ice those knees, down some protein and plenty of fluids to push out the lactic acid, get a good massage and rest. Something to remember, make sure your body gets rest. It will take some time to build up what you tore down on the run, and even though you may "feel" 100%, listen to your body if it starts talking to you. Again, congrats, brotha!

Ran my first half marathon today. My knees are killing me but I have the day off tomorrow to rest them and get a massage.
My goal was to break 2 hours. Well, I did it. I barely did it, but I did it. I finished in 1:59:42.50

Congrats and wooohoooo. Good job.

Oh, and btw, I thought you were in PA? What's with the foreign license plate?

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

That's a sorority novelty license plate.

Delta Epsilon Theta

 

[dilligaf]

LOL Stephen If I had to guess, that is a sorority or fraternity plate.

Not what I meant--the plate is for Epsilon Delta Theta--is there a college near or on the half-marathon route?

There are quite a few colleges in the Harrisburg area. Or it could be a proud alum.

Nice going cement! And that's the way to listen to your body. Your an animal!
I climbed a mountain two days ago with my son. My thighs are killing me today. But I did get out today on the Boston course for a workout. A bit of Jameson on the rocks and a hand rolled dominican before bed are my doctor's orders. Life is good.

My Wife ran her first 10k last Saturday and ran 12 miles this morning with Her Galloway training group. She's come a long way toward running her first half marathon. The half marathon is The Martin County Halloween Half Marathon on Oct. 31st.

That's awesome Steve, good for Melissa! Now you just have to spring her loose from the clutches of the Gallowalkers

 

[tourists24]

Well it looks like Im gonna attempt my first 40 miler trail race October 9. Never been this far, but its a relatively flat course so I am hopeful.

Don't tell me you're running Andiamo...

And aren't you supposed to be running Great Eastern today? A buddy of mine is down there doing the 3 person relay.
Never mind about Andiamo, I'm guessing you're doing Triple Lakes.

LOL, you ain't kidding. I don't know how she has the patience for Galloway. She's doing the 1:1, which would drive me nuts, but she does get to talk with all of her friends for however long it takes, LOL. We normally workout seperately, but at the same time. I do my long run and bike ride, while she's over there doing her run. Today I took the day off to hang with our girls, and sent Mom off to my 12pm massage appointment. I think I've created a monster.

Ahhh, nothing like a "flat" 40 mile run. Have fun out there and don't forget to update us with the details.
