I RAN A HALF MARATHON

OK, so I finally did a hardcore running event! I ran the Columbia Gorge Half Marathon (http://www.columbiagorgemarathon.com) I never thought I would get to this point! I still remember that days when running 3 miles was crazy hard! Now I have done 13.1 miles in an 1 hour and 35 min! That is an average of 7:35 mile time. this is hard. I know I was pushing my self because when I was done I just wanted to fall down and not move for hours! Beware of the runners high! I was a victim almost I would not stop talking and I was ready to keep going and not stopping! Then on the drive home I passed out and slept all the way back. I am glad I did not drive myself to the scenic gorge or I might not be typing this now.
One thing I must think of what is it that I want to do next? When you reach your goal do you stop or do you try and reach a whole new level? This is something I must now consider.
