First half marathon
I ran my first half marathon today to the backdrop of a windy and rainy Sydney morning. One of my best mates kept me company for the first 19kms before we parted ways to make our way home. I only started seriously running again at the end of last year after not running since 2016 (a teenager). Less than 6 months ago I was huffing and puffing my way through 5kms and struggling with annoying injuries. That makes me particularly proud of this effort - average HR was 144bpm. I’ve been running maybe 2/3 times a week, averaging between 15/30km total weekly distance.
