I finished and I wasn't last

662 out of 680

It took 2 hours and 40 minutes, but I managed to finish the half-marathon (13.2 miles) Saturday!!! My pace towards the end was terrible - my legs started cramping at mile 11 but I walked them off and ran the last mile.

Nowhere to go but up from here !

but congratulations on finishing.

at least you had a chance to push that pesky grandma in her walker out of the way. Who does she think she is?

congrats!

tipping the kid in the electric wheelchair in the middle of mile 8 might have been a bit much...

that is awesome!
You must have had some very competitive runners in that race...cause your time was not all that bad...pretty good to be honest.
Keep working at it and it does get easier!!
