doggiesnot Posted October 19, 2013 Report Share Posted October 19, 2013 Over the past two years, I'm proud to say I've lost 55 pounds! I decided that I wanted to be healthy, and I took the steps to make it happen. I tracked my food using MyFitnessPal. I joined a gym and became more active, and I learned a lot at NerdFitness.com. Most importantly, I made a commitment to myself to be more healthy, and continue to follow-through on that commitment. I bike commute to work, I work out regularly, and I'm enjoying life! Today, at age 43, I ran my first half marathon. Not only did I run the whole thing, but I crushed my goal! My goal was 1:48:00 with a pace of 8:15, which I set 12 weeks ago, not knowing if that was even achievable. My chip time was 1:41:41, a pace of 7:46 min/mile. I'm so proud of that number. When I bought my NerdFitness t-shirt, I knew I wanted to do something epic in it! Today is that day. I challenge you to do something epic! Quote Link to comment

A 1:41 half marathon is a really good time by any standard, not many people can run one in that kind of time. Congrats on the fantastic progress!

I'm hoping for my first half next year, but I'd be no where near that time haha, probably not even under 2:00:00! haha Any tips for a first half?
