Will and I started together. Next time we are starting in a Corral that goes out first. I had to leave Will to go to the port o can right in the beginning but was able to catch up to him around mile 7 or 8. Ran together a little towards the finish. I ran this one faster than I ever have a half. Felt the hurt but it felt good!
What would you do differently?:

Longer training plan.

Walked with Will through GRB to get our goods and then head to meet our friends. El Big Bad for brunch.

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.
