I actually used your listing of potential unforeseen mishaps as a checklist for myself to try to prepare better. =)<br /><br />My game plan is to start out slowly and to just enjoy myself and the experience as much as possible.

I have thought o...Perfectly said marathon thoughts. I have thought of more than one of them during a race before. Mostly "don't die, don't die, breath, relax, don't die". Those usually get repeated for the whole duration of the the 26.2 miles. In Boston my husband said he would be at mile 20 and he wasn't effing there. I started bawling my eyes out because I was in so much pain and just wanted him to tell me that I could do it and that I could finish. I finally saw him (actually saw my name written across the entire road first) and basically in my hysterical Tasha makes absolute no sense right now started yelling where in f*ck were you!? Haha- marathon tantrum perhaps?<br /><br />Back to goals- I always have an "A" kick ass goal and a "B" lets survive and be happy goal. Having 3 goals is good to. At least the weather looks to be perfect on race day so it won't be like the Rockford Marathon.
