Halfsies

I ran a half marathon today. It was good, easier than expected, and...(I swear I'm not whining)...anticlimactic. I haven't "raced" in eleven years, so I don't know what I was expecting to feel when I crossed the finish line, but what I felt wasn't it. Don't get me wrong, i'm proud of myself, I feel good about the fact that I went from zero on the workout scale to a 13.1 miler in 3 months. Perhaps it's my competitive side...i just didn't get the exhiliration that used to come with my high school races. But then, I used to win. So today, I got the, yeah you can finish a half, but 2,000 people can beat you feeling. It might be the blues, but i'll stick with labeling it the anticlimatic blahs.
