Nice priorities!! Haha
In all seriousness, nothing pumps up pre-game like a race!!! Endorphins kick in, really have free reign on calories, earned that extra beer or 5....

21.13 actually. Dont kid yourself, that last 100 meters is a killer!!!
On a side note, I hate that they call them "half" marathons. As if 13.1 is "half" of anything

Ran Cross Country starting in 7th grade all the way through high school.
Best time I ever ran (3.1 mi): 17:35
I also ran a half marathon in 1:54:54 as a junior in high school.
I graduated a year ago and haven't ran a cross country meet in a year and a half.
I always told myself I'd never do a half marathon again, but I miss the pain and being in shape.

Nice job. Just increase the distance on the long run once a week even by just a quarter mile.
As for the "half" bit I hate the name. They don't call a 5k half of a 10k etc. to me it just sounds demeaning that it's only half of something.
And on the other hand, 13.1 is far from the half way point of a marathon. Most people say that 20 miles is the half way point to the runner. I happen to think the last 6.2 is harder than the first 20

Rhody you are doing great. Like a lot of beginners I used the Hal Higdon training program and I felt it was really easy to stick with. You gradually increase over 3 mos and the most you run in 10 miles on your long runs. You don't need to go the full 13.1 when training. You will actually run faster on race day than you think. It is an unbelievable feeling the first time you finish. Keep going man it is worth it and you will have such a sense of accomplishment.
