Comments:

Stuck with my training routine of running 27 minutes and walking 3. Didn't have to walk extra. First half seemed easy. Suffered through miles 17-23 and pace slowed considerably but picked it back up for the last three miles when I realized I really would finish.
What would you do differently?:

Drank too much the first half....second half was probably just about right. Lost some of my gel on the run and didn't really take enough nutrition over the last hour or so.

Warm down:

walked back to condo

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Considering that last Christmas I was excited that I ran 3 miles consecutively without stopping, don't feel like I could hope for much more at this point.

Thanks for the kind words. I really didn't think I could do this and truly believe that if I could do it...anyone can!
