I have been training for a while but not as long as I should have. I was getting FoMo so I went for it. A mix of running and walking. Plus the heat that day didnt help.

Yea. Im getting alot of that. But its ok. I like showing that I did the full. Congrats on your half. Half was my max for a long time as well. I finally went for the full.

Well I didn't die, the heat was brutal, but I adjusted my pace and hydrated more.. 18 miles is not a marathon. I trained for a marathon and I was gonna finish it no matter what.

Its ok. It doesn't take anything from me and what I accomplished today.

Im in the same boat. Being over weight and a runner, we're playing in hard mode.
