I completed my second half marathon this weekend. I easily could have finished in the top ten if I had trained a little more but I settled for 14,144th place. It is the nation’s largest half marathon with 35,000 competitors each year. I finished with a time of 2:18:50 which is about 20 minutes less than my half marathon race last year. I am happy with my time and felt good during the race. I have just one complaint from the race and it is this: the blister on my foot is the largest I have ever seen. Oh, well. Hopefully it goes away. My toenail that fell off during last year’s race took about five months to grow back completely so let’s hope this blister-issue is over much faster than that! My race stats:
Time: 2:18:50
Temperature: 58 degrees
Distance walked to the race: 1.4 miles
Distance walked from the race: 1.4 miles
Number of blisters: 1 but it’s the size of 10 blisters
Overall place: 14,144 out of 30,063
Here’s last year’s injury and this year’s… So gross.

Oh your blister looks so sore! I hope it heals quickly.
Congratulations on your brilliant performance! You slashed your previous time! You beat half the field. Well done!
Thank you! The blister is finally starting to heal!
Awesome work! Congratulations! That blister looks awful, though. Hope it disappears soon!
Thank you so much! The blister is finally starting to go away thankfully!
well done in getting through the pain barrier that you would have felt with the blister and toe damage.. thats very good 🙂
Thanks, Thomas! It hurt towards the end but I knew I couldn’t let it stop me after already making it so far!
Yes I bet it hurt.. I have been there too and its the best feeling crossing that finishing line.. 🙂
How you managed to keep running with that thing hanging on is beyond me but I’m proud of you!!
Thanks, Sarah! Don’t you wish you could’ve been here to get a blister too?! Miss you!
