Comments:

Planned to just do some HR inverval training and possibly only run the first half because I had not trained at all recently for anything, let alone long runs.
Garmin was broke and wouldnt turn on, so i just paced easy to the half in 1:51.
I felt fine so turned and headed back. I felt fine till mile 20. Then cramped badly around 21-22 and stopped. Walked and shuffled back in.
What would you do differently?:

I'd say to actually train for the marathon distances,,,,but it probably wont happen.
