Calling All Marathoners
My friend and marathon partner Chris and I were talking last week about what we might do the night of the marathon. Since neither of us has run 26.2 before, we don't have any sense at all of what we'll be up for. So....for those of you who have run a marathon - how did you feel the night of the race? What are we likely to have the energy for?
Let us know in the comments or via email.
Thanks!

One note though, I'd try to stay flexible. If it is unseasonably humid or rainy, you may have to adjust plans (wasn't it crazy hot in Chicago last year?). Several friends had planned to join me after the run in NY for dinner and they were unable to make it - many due to dehydration and general exhaustion. A small dinner with 3-4 people is probably the best option - and try to manage expectations that you might bail at the last minute if you aren't feeling great.
