Half Marathon Complete!
What a day. Two personal records: running more than 10 consecutive miles and, of course, completing a half-marathon.
I was amazed at how it felt to run that far and how I felt today. I was warned by many not to go out too fast, so I focused on staying in my comfort zone at ~9:30/mi. My pace was 10:30/mi including a bathroom stop and walking through the water stations (~30 seconds each) with my running pace around my current aforementioned norm. I felt good throughout the run, with minor aches in my hip and ankle joints during the last 4 miles or so.
At this point I cannot imagine running a full 26.2 ... glad I have another 3 months to prepare.

Congratulations on your half! Good luck with your marathon training.
Congratulations!!!
You're right on track. In another few months you'll be throwing the word "only" in front of 13.1 miles!
