On Tuesday I stopped by Marathon Sports to pick up my marathon jacket and a t-shirt. I won't wear them until after the race, but I wanted to make sure that I pick them up before they were gone. I like that this years colors are the official B.A.A colors.
I spoke with Keith Driscoll today. He was a huge help. He explained the importance of starting off slow and not letting your adrenalin get the best of you at the beginning. He also told me to try running one mile to each water station and walking for 50-100 feet, and then plan on running one more mile. It was great to talk with someone that has run the marathon an amazing 8 times!!!
There are a few more pieces that I plan on buying from the marathon, but I think I should focus on tackling the race now...
