Sitting back at home with a medal round my neck and a finishers t-shirt on.
Half marathon, tick.
I did the FLM Adidas Half Marathon in Silverstone. I've nothing to compare a 13 mile race against but given today was supposed to be a training day of 10 miles I took a little breather when I hit that milestone, walked for 5 minutes before shuffling off again to complete the track. The good news was I felt strong when I finished, meaning there was no puff or out of breath issues the whole way around. What I did have however are niggles of (assumed) age on my hips and left ankle.
Hopefully a day or two rest before going back into the pool will put that to right.
My time was 2 hours 37 minutes and 10 seconds. By default it's a PB. More than that it's the first time I've run that far or exercised continuously for that long.
