I do that for vacation...straight down to "bring 7 pairs of underwear", "phone charger", etc. So why not for the marathon!!Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10155443976345011433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162303249632073537.post-54572568510844806842012-09-26T08:07:23.178-07:002012-09-26T08:07:23.178-07:00I had an awesome pace leader at the IL marathon bu...I had an awesome pace leader at the IL marathon but at the time, the pace was too fast for me and I dropped back at mile 4. What I don't want to do is feeling like I'm "chasing" them, because that's added energy. But I'm still considering it because I'm in better run shape than I was for my second one.

What will you eat in the days before? What will you wear - if it's hot out? if it's cold? How will you run? When will you fuel?<br /><br />While not everything goes according to plan, I'm going to be writing up my marathon plan tonight because it will help me to visualize a successful event.

The 10 day weather forecast that includes Oct. 7th will be coming out soon! As far as pace groups, I find it makes the race more fun when I line up behind my target time group. Then, I let them get ahead of me, and during the race, I try to eventually catch up with them. If I don't manage to catch them, it was probably best that I didn't kill myself trying to keep up with them from the start. If I do manage to pass them, it gives me a psychological boost.
