Don't spend a significant time at the expo, go there, get your packet, look around and get out. Stay off those legs. REST, REST, REST!!!<br /><br />3. Even though it's the big day try to think about it like it's a regular long run day. Don't try anything new or do anything you wouldn't normally do before a big run.<br /><br />4. Slap a smile on your face and look in the mirror, tell yourself that today is going to be your day! Positive attitude is SO UNBELIEVABLY IMPORTANT!!!<br /><br />5. Enjoy every minute of the race, the spectators, the course, the volunteers. Say thank you to everyone who can hear you, their smiles will help keep a smile on your face as well! If possible taunt the spectators/volunteers - If you see someone with a cowbell tell them you need more! Believe me, hammming it up makes it that much more fun for you, the runner's around you and the spectators!<br /><br />6. Be proud of yourself no matter what your time when you finish! Finishing IS Winning and that is all that matters. When you cross that finish line you just changed your life, you just became a MARATHONER!!!<br /><br />Best of luck! Have a fabulous day! I can't wait to hear how you did!!!Jen Feenyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12857381064146340597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8856425809569276342.post-22105059611022408912010-01-07T09:14:18.029-07:002010-01-07T09:14:18.029-07:00I am definitely a list person too!

I probably would have cried :)<br />My gym was UBER crowded too last night; practically every cardio machine was being used. At least the crowds will thin out in the next couple of weeks!
