I've searched (get that out first)...<br><br>
I'm training for my first half marathon, coming up about a month from now. I'm in pretty solid shape, and went for my long run today, with a plan for maybe 8 miles. I felt so good that I kept going (straight uphill!) and finished out with running a full half marathon, plus a little...<br><br>
Anyhow, this is the longest run I've ever completed in my life, 13.44 done in 2:10 (9:44 per mile), with an 1100 foot altitude gain, starting at 8000 feet.<br><br>
Should I be happy with this? I can't seem to find a reasonable comparison (Oh, I'm 40, and have been a summer runner for several years).<br><br>
The half marathon I'm training for is a trail marathon, called the "Golden Leaf Half Marathon" -- not that I guess that matters much, guess I'm still pumping endorphins.<br><br>
thanks for any advice offered...
