Brian ran his first half marathon last Saturday. His time was 2 hours and 32 minutes. He thought he would be at 3 – 3.5 hours so he did really good! It is safe to the running bug has started for him. He is already trying to plan his next race.

Let us know where your Wordless Wednesday is so we can come comment.
Do you run? I started running with Brian but am no where near a half marathon. Leave us a comment and let us know!
Wow – congrats! I am NOT a runner so I am jealous of his determination 🙂
That is awesome and a serious accomplishment. Congrats!
Good for him.
Way to go Brian!
I am so impressed! Great job, Brian!
That’s awesome! I used to run, but not in the last decade. My goal was to run a half marathon by the time I’m 40, and that is less than a year away. I better get working on it.
I actually only started training about 5 months ago. I started with a Couch to 5K program and then moved right into a beginner’s marathon training program. I only ran 3 times a week with one of them being a distance run that increased by a mile each week. Those runs were less about time and speed than they were about just making your legs move that many times. For me, the real key was this: if I wanted to do it, I could….everything else just became an excuse. I hope you try to meet your goal…it’s worth it!
Wow. I used to run daily and I can’t even fathom a 1/2 marathon!! WTG Brian!
That is fantastic! He looks like he had such a great time, I think I’d be a hot mess after running that far.
The worst was that my sweat dried on my face, so I had salt all over. YUCK!
That is quite an accomplishment! I’ll be happy if I can do a 5K this spring. 🙂
That’s great. I have always wanted to run. I used to have wonderful dreams where I would run and never get tired :).
That is amazing! Big Congrats to him!

Congrats!!! I wish I were a runner! He mus be so proud of himself!
That is awesome!
That’s great – he doesn’t even look winded!
The breathing wasn’t a problem. My knees….that was another story. I had so much trouble walking afterwards. Ice, stretching, water, biking, a chiropractic adjustment, and 5 days later and I’m only just starting to feel normal here.
Thats an awesome time, congrats!
very impressive!
Way to go! That’s awesome!
Good job!! I’m signing up for my first half in March…maybe 🙂
