How did you go?
It did go fairly well. I was nervous till I got there. But as soon as I reached the race venue, the people and their excitement made me excited and I ran the first half at a pretty good pace for my standards. But after 11k, I was slowly getting bored and lost the fun in the run. Nevertheless, I pushed myself to finish line with a reasonable timing for my first half-marathon(2:15:00).
I always get bored after 11-12k, maybe because I don't listen to music while running(?). I am not sure.
Thats a really good time for a first HM. I was previously not doing anything when running re listening to something but I’ve recently been trying to listen to podcasts that I dont have to pay too much attention to. It would be good to have someone to talk shit with as well, just to take your mind off it.
Thank you. I guess my training paid off.
None of my friends are into running. So, I think I will have to order a bluetooth earphone then.
