OMG- cold, windy, miserable.. thank God I got to run with my Teammates. Saved me. Later, first part of February, found out I was sick.. really sick.
What would you do differently?:

while it sounds fun in a race announcement to eat cookies and candy on the course while running a half, it actually sucks pretty bad. I do not advise it. Stick to what you're used to eating. Maybe walking would have been different, but not while running it.

I was sick- didn't find out about this until February

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.
