I stuck with my guts and only did 13.1 miles instead of 16. It was a good run. I did feel a little bit weak the first 4 or 5 miles. Sometimes it takes me a while to warm up. I didn't take any water which worked out fine because I was hydrated. I was hoping to drink some along the way, but the public fountain at Seward Park wasn't working. Still, I didn't feel an urgent need to drink at anytime (if you're training just for a half-marathon, I don't think you need to carry any water with you unless of course you're not hydrated, which is difficult to gauge at times). A liquid gel, however, would have helped because the last two miles were a little bit tough. This was a good run (not in terms of time) because of continuity--I didn't need to stop to rest along the way.
Total:
Half-marathon (13.1mi) Run; 1:41:15; 7:43/mi pace
