I have only run one half, but hope to do another someday soon. Hey, maybe if my job thing keeps getting hung up, I'll just spend all that time training instead lol. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-just-did-my-second-hm#post-619231 Mon, 14 May 2012 04:51:14 +0000 anne 619231@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for all the congrats :-)</p> <p>Kim, I think Makrame is right - it will be easier on the day than on training runs. There is that race day adrenaline, plus people to try to beat (I kept passing and then being passed by 2 particular ladies)<br /> It is excellent that you have actaully done 21 km in training! My "not much training" included one 12km and one 17km on top of my normal 6-7 km runs (one should really do a few more long runs than that!) I experimented with eating jellybeans at 12km (1) and 17km (3) - if you try this do while walking (I bit my tongue on the first one trying to keep running) and follow up quickly with water as it dries out the mouth. I wished I had saved one for the last kilometer because that was really hard! It does help a bit with energy.</p> <p>Hope you go well Kim, and let us know! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-just-did-my-second-hm#post-619061 Sun, 13 May 2012 23:21:15 +0000 christy 619061@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations!

Great time and good luck with training for the next one! I always enjoy seeing people run in fun costumes, that makes big races feel very festive (I think I've seen a bunch of people run dressed as Supermen once).</p> <p>Kim, good luck on yours, too! We had to cancel a planned trip to the same HM you are doing (DH had a knee injury) so now I can relax and slowly train for an HM in the fall. I find that I nearly die during long training runs but things get much easier when I am running an actual race. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-just-did-my-second-hm#post-618885 Sun, 13 May 2012 18:17:19 +0000 christieanne 618885@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is AWESOME! And your August event sounds fun. </p> <p>Good luck Kim! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-just-did-my-second-hm#post-618880 Sun, 13 May 2012 18:11:17 +0000 Kim 618880@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congrats, that's a very good time, especially if you didn't "train properly" as you eluded to in your post.</p> <p>I'm about to run my first HM in 2 weeks and did my last long run today. 21 km! Yikes, I was talking to myself for the last 3km...You know, "C'mon Kim, you can do this, one more foot in front of theother...Keep going, you're not gonna die from this...Well, maybe not DIE, just collapse in a heap on the side of the road,...HEY, stop with the negative talk. Look, it's time to walk again, Youre gonna be fine..." </p> <p>I'm sure all you HM runners are familiar with the above, or am I the only crazy lady talking to herself and barely running, and almost home? LOL</p> <p>I'll let you all know how it goes. I expect a 2:40 finish time but really don't care. I just want to FINISH my first HM at 50 years old! (Upright and smiling if possible!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-just-did-my-second-hm#post-618734 Sun, 13 May 2012 14:25:11 +0000 Polly (thunalata) 618734@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations!

Love the idea of tutus! You will have to get a pic of that! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-just-did-my-second-hm#post-618667 Sun, 13 May 2012 11:59:42 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 618667@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Way to go Anne. Great time. Are you running for Breast Cancer in the pink tutu? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-just-did-my-second-hm#post-618661 Sun, 13 May 2012 11:22:13 +0000 anne 618661@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Half marathon that is! Did it in 2:23 taking 4 minutes off my previous record, feeling stronger and not walking very much! I am now feeling very keen to do the HM I am doing with my running group in August for which I will hopefully train properly for, unlike today.</p> <p>On a sartorical note, I believe we are going to do it wearing pink tutus! </p>
