same here. i started running last april for the first time, having about 20+ years of chain-smoking behind me (it's about five years since i gave up). it was a nice feeling when i could finish one km without walking. by may end, we did a 10-km race. of course i took my own time doing it (1:26). kind of kept at it and managed to do the half past sunday in 2:48. good enough for me. will do quite a few halfs and get comfortable doing it before trying to do a full sometime next year. > I was hoping to crack two hours a couple of weeks ago when I ran a > half-marathon distance.
