Comments:

started cramping at mile 2. Arms, cheeks, fingers, quads, hams, calfs. Walked mile 3, tried to do some running miles 4-12, could only run a block or two before cramping. Really focused on fluid replacement on mile 13, drink chicken broth and several gatorade cups and a gel. Continued this until mile 18. Now I could start to run longer before cramping. Ran out the last 2 miles.
