Half marathon today, my first proper race other than the 5k Park runs. Came 2nd!!! My friend actually won and his girlfriend came 3rd in the ladies too so pretty good day out!!
The route was on the canal between Leeds and Liverpool (which is apparently a word heritage site haha) pretty flat apart from one really steep short section.
Chip time 1hr43m34s!
Fully loving the running life, so glad I got into it.
that's so sick man. ya man it seems to fit perfectly with you. i mean, you've always loved hiking/etc, now you can go on scenic runs etc lmao. long runs in nature are incredible. i've yet to do a long race in nature, ie a big trail race etc.. would love to do some of those eventually. off-road half/full/ultra's. the ultra I did was just 1.25 mile loops at an old landfill turned into a park, not exactly nature.. ehhh! it's nice tho, especially when it's dark: race starts at 6 AM, so for 2 hours it feels like you're running in a straight line.
your half was off road? ("on the canal ..") or a road right along side the canal?
anyway, congrats to you and your friends! great work!
