OK, so I just did my first half marathon; 13.1 miles.  I barely finished.  I cannot believe how incredibly sore I am.  If I had every aspirin and every muscle relaxing lotion or cream, I could certainly use it now.  I was hobbling through the finish line.  Those old knee injuries came back to haunt me.  Both my knees are incredibly swollen, I look like I have two pumpkins stuck in the middle of my leg!  But I did finish and that was more than enough for me.
