Comments:

Just ran, drank water when I needed it, took Gatorade when they offered it, and just enjoyed my time. Made sure to start slow - ran with the 2:30 pacer until about the 5k mark then just kept my eye on some slightly faster people to tag along to and follow on. It was a great time.
What would you do differently?:

Train?
Post race
Warm down:

Find friends, find beer line, do the wobble, go through beer line about 6 more times, dance more.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Training. This wasn't that bad, actually, considering!

Event comments:

My ONLY complaint is that the mile markers were NOT at the actual miles...they were just whereverrr? and it made me a little crazy. There were enough water stops but if it had been maybe 5 or 10 degrees warmer I would have needed more.

However, the course was beautiful and the finish line celebration were amazing. I had a blast running another half with Jen.

Steady is our walk. Ignoring the pain that is radiating from my feet, I continue to place one foot in front of the other. Again I wonder, “Why am I doing this?”

I will assume you have not run consistently more than 6 miles and have never completed a half-marathon. I believe running your first half-marathon is a big task which requires dedication and work.

My training was taking off. I had never felt stronger. I was making bigger strides than I ever had. I was stronger and faster than I had imagined myself ever being.
