Comments:

This runs gets more fun every year. This is my fourth year. The temp was perfect. I wore a t-shirt, arms, Capri and ball cap which was perfect. No over heating.

My goal was to have fun and finish with a smile, which I did.
What would you do differently?:

This was a REALLY fun end of year half marathon. Maybe one year I will try the full OR fun the half faster.
Post race
Warm down:

walked back to the motel, shower and stretch.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

End of year cool down mentality.

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.
