I’m getting too old for this shit…

So I signed up for the 2020 San Fran 1/2 Marathon...then COVID decided to mess that up. It didn't stop me training though, and with the help of a Peloton bike I'm starting to show signs of fitness once again! (No, no as fit as 11 years ago!). Anyway, this sudden urge to not be unfit in my 50's has inspired Sam to join in on the fun - yes we are run(walking fast)ning again! This February , we are getting our asses around the 2022 Walt Disney Princess Half Marathon! Not only that, but we're attempting to run a 10k the day before - you know, just to warm up! I'm also still signed up for San Fran in the summer, so watch this space and maybe I'll post again before next year!

Well here we are in all our glory (and a lot of pain in the middle pic!) Thanks to my Garmin GPS watch (early Birthday present!) I was able to pace us to perfection.... we started out a little fast - had to pull in the reigns a little as all the newbs were a little over-zealous !!!! I noticed a few people pulling out before mile 3 with shocked looks on their faces :( ... by the halfway mark we'd managed a very respectable 3hr14m which gave us some breathing room for the 7hr cutoff time. 18 miles was our landmark - we'd not gone further than that in training... we had beaten our previous time by over an hour! I would say the last mile was probably the toughest, longest mile of our lives but the feeling at the finish line was more than overwhelming... yes, there may have been a tear or two! One of the things that motivated both of us was the crowd - hearing your name being called out by complete strangers is a little weird at first, but eventually you start to lean on the great s
