First Half Marathon! 21k B!tch
Hi all,
I completed my first half marathon (21.1K), and to celebrate it i want to gift myself my first "proper" running shoe🥳.
About my run:
I did the half marathon almost non-stop. I only paused 2 times quickly to hydrate because there were no on the go hydration stations. Around 18K it got really tough my right leg started cramping, and around 20.5K my toes literally started curling inward, so I had to stop for ~20 seconds.
Still, I'm ridiculously proud because this was my first ever 21K, done solo on a beach, almost non-stop. No race atmosphere, just me pushing through. The drive back home with my favourite song playing was one of those core memory moments.
Also based on my cramping/toe curling, does that scream pacing/hydration/electrolytes issue... or just "first half marathon things"?😅
