Comments:

this was my first half marathon. my goal was to run 1:25, but i ran 1:28:25, still pretty good
What would you do differently?:

prepare better mentally. i had the trainig down but my mind was playing games with me the last 3 miles. i almost gave up. i was so close to stop running and start walking.

Warm down:

ran .25 miles cool down, drank a chocolate milk and lots of water. went to eat a big breakfast with mom ans sibblings.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

not enough, better ans systematic training?
