Yes on the 3rd of May 2009, I finished my first half Marathon. My time was about 2 hours 20mins, which is quite slow. But includes 15mins of waiting in the lineup for the bathroom stalls, so really it was more like 2hours. Would you believe they only had two stalls?! There was about 6000 people I think that ran. Maybe that 4 pints of water before I started wasn’t such a good idea.

Would I do it again? Well maybe… but I now I know I can do it I feel like trying something else. Maybe a full marathon, maybe a triathalon. Maybe just some cycling. Whatever I chose I’m impressed that I have started down the road of doing fitty things.

Victoria my better half also did the half Marathon and quite enjoyed herself. Maybe we can find something else we can do together. I also have a friend in the UK that has been inspired by what I’ve been doing and is also doing a half marathon. He suggested maybe doing a full together next year. So that’s a possibility. Maybe in New York or Chicago.

I managed to get free entrance into another half marathon in June here in Vancouver. I haven’t signed up yet, but its tempting.

Frankly it’s also nice to get my Sundays back again. And it’s now BBQ season and I write this as I’m sat on our balcony over looking false creek and it’s lovely and sunny.  So I think a little relapse into burnt food and bright red suntans is in order.
