Sounds like you’re good to go.

You don’t need anything but a pair of sneakers to run (and even that I could argue) but there’s nothing wrong with instrumentation when you’re a data dork engineer.
Mechanics and efficiency Newman. It will lower some as muscle memory is gained.

Ran my first marathon in Toronto yesterday. 3:39:22 Our Bibs had our names on it so random people were yelling my name the whole time! Also I will say that running a race with only km is frustrating. Marathons seem to be PURE willpower after mile 15. Tough stuff, I understand why people love running them all the time. Not sure I will ever again. Too soon to tell.
SWEET TIME!!!
Marathons are the best. You will continue with them 
With that as an opener time I bet you will be in the lowwwww 3hr range before you know it.
After not running much a few years and not really having any “plan” this year I feel everything went well and I can’t wait for next year!
Thanks man, yea I would really like to qualify for Boston… Then I wouldn’t mind doing the Goofy Challenge… LOL, I might run another.
Goofy challenge is where you run a half marathon on Saturday and run a full marathon the next day.
So when are one of you guys going to man up and run a 100 mile race? 
(I know a chick that does 100 miles races so…)
Girls are built better for longer races, just saying. They have higher pain tolerances or something. I couldn’t imagine doubling a Marathon let alone doing 100 miles.
When are one of you going to race a horse?

I ran the Disney 1/2 with the mrs a few years back. Lots of people there to do the goofy. It is a fun event but the damn 1/2 was soooooo crowded. Not sure how the full was.
There were 27,000 people at this Toronto race. It cant be much more crowded than that…
Were you in traffic the entire time? I hate that. When I did Disney my GF had no registered race time so we started in a super slow wave. WORST DECISION EVER

PS I just ordered a new treadmill.
Think turkey trot for half the race. We didn’t get open space till the marathon split, even then it was congested. I barely got in my corral before the race. Too many people trying to cram in the gates. It was a mess.
There was a 101 year old man who ran the 5k at this event too. He finished in 43:32 or something. Crazy!!

I used to be fast 
That was after a night of drinking four loko too…
LOL broooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Alright runners, let’s talk diet and supplements.
What kind of diets are you on pre-race? I’ll be running a full marathon on December 9th so I’m curious for daily diet stuff that has helped, but also any supplements that you take during the race for energy/hydration. Of course I would try something in a normal run before the race.
What you got?
I’ll be at the Turkey Trot, first time this year…haven’t ran in weeks.
start hydrating like a week in advance.
i suggest lots of carbs the night before, in the form of pasta, not beer.
i ate like 4 bananas and took 3-4 potassium supplements before my last official one. Didn’t cramp once. Dont think I pooped for a couple days, but thats another story.
Make sure to use body glyde.
Salt caps
Bump…Anyone doing the turkey trot tomorrow? I’m runner 6711, if you see me say hi.
I set out to run 20 miles tonight. It was supposed to be my longest training run and then short runs until my marathon on December 9th. Around 11.5 miles my foot went ape shit and I can’t even walk properly. FML I really hope this goes away. I’ve never had this happen before.
