From start to finish, this was just a fun, fun run! The last mile really hurt, but the rest of it felt very solid.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing. This was just a fun race ran by a coworker that I got shamed into doing, hehe.
Post race
Warm down:

Walked around and drank lots of water, gnoshed lots of food. Pizza!!

The picture doesn't even do the Finisher's Medal justice. The coins were included for scale.... the thing is HUGE. It could be a country-western belt buckle!

What limited your ability to perform faster:

HILLS!

Event comments:

Great event, absolutely beautiful course with parts of it on trails going through the Holden Arboretum. Good post-race music and the food was good. Pizza!!

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.
