Completed my 2nd 1/2 marathon!!

I even improved my time by 4 minutes!  Yes

In May, I lost 3.5 toenails in the training & the run including a huge blood blister after the race under my big toenail.  Thankfully this time I only fared one small blister.  The highlight for me was that I got through the entire race w/o stopping to pee!!

Downside was that I got severe runners trots after the race.  Tongue Tied

Now I have a 10k in October and possibly an 8k too.  Then on to next year's half in May.

    Better after than during, right? I have a marathoning friend that had number two'd in someone's backyard during a long run!

    Congrats on the time improvement! Isn't running a blast?

    Nice job on the half marathon and your new PR! For the toenails, have you tried running in shoes a 1/2 size bigger? I lost a toenail in my first marathon due to shoes a 1/2 size too small :s No fun!

    Good luck with the rest of your running and training!
