Today was the Disneyland Half Marathon, and somehow a miracle occurred.
I didn’t really have a set goal as far as what time I was aiming to finish, but in the back of my head I kept thinking that 2:30 would be nice if it happened. My best half marathon time ever was in 2006 when I got 2:18:55, and that was after months of heavy and consistent training, something I’ve failed to maintain doing ever since.
But this year I have tried to be a little more diligent with the training, and holy cow, did it ever pay off.
Not only did I accomplish that casual 2:30 goal, but I breezed past my previous personal record by more than seven minutes and ended up clocking in at 2:11:39.
Who knew training a little would actually pay off?!
Goofy Challenge, I’m comin for ya!
