Today's schedule called for 12 miles so it wasn't too much off the plan to run a half marathon this morning. I have been registered for a few months anyway so it's been on my schedule. I ran with 3 other friends and two of them were running their very first half marathon. It was exciting to witness and I'm so proud of all of us. Unfortunately around Mile 9 their hips started hurting (one had previous hip issues that were flaring) and the other was surprised by new pain. We all walked for awhile then would slowly incorporate some jogging just to try and keep the momentum going. There were tons of hills on the course so although we only ran maybe 10 or so miles the hills definitely provided a good workout. And, most importantly my friends finished and now have a Half Marathon added to their accomplishments!
