What is that one thing you could tell others about running a half marathon that you wish you knew before you ran it?

Thanks!

    Well, I have a couple things...

    Don't overtrain. Just enjoy the process! Same on race day, enjoy it all!!! The crowds, the cheerers, the other runners, the volunteers... they all just want to see you do your best! Don't worry that you aren't at the front of the pack, nobody minds at all. Cross the finish line with a smile on your face... YOU ARE AMAZING!!!!

    Ok, I guess the biggest advice... enjoy your moment!! And have someone there to hug when you're done!!!!!!
