Yep. Half marathon. I was a lifter and never ran more than 3 miles in training or more than 10 in a week.
A cute girl I wanted to see was doing it so I entered on a lark. The girl never showed cuz her cat was sick but I ran it anyway. I started easy and actually was surprised I didn't die. Ended up with a 1.38 finish and I negative split the whole race. I could barely walk for days after though.
I ended up hooking up with the girl later that year so the entire experience was worth it.
Idiot. This thread is about marathon or longer only. Try to read.
