Excuse me while I freak the eff out. It’s the night before my first marathon, I’m sort of doubting myself, I keep thinking my knees hurt, and I’m worried about everything from Porta Potties to when to take gels to which socks to wear ( compression or no?).
But most of all
I’m really freaking excited.
(Drinks weren’t consumed today – but I might be thinking about one of those bad boys as soon as I hit that finish line).
I can’t wait to post an update tomorrow, but in the meantime – good luck to everyone else running O2O (sarah, nicole, madison, cha cha who is running as the volunteer 4:25 pacer)!!
Marathon #1 – Let’s Do This.
GOOD LUCK! can’t wait to hear how it goes!!!
Thank you! It went better than I expected but I am SO sore now! I’ll have a recap up tomorrow
AHHH Good luck! I know you’ll do great
I’m doing the Santa Barbara Marathon in November so I have a while to train – when you finish, I’ll be asking you for tips!!!! 
I’ll be happy to share! It went great and I’ll recap it all tomorrow, but for now my biggest tip is BRING ADVIL! Haha. Serious lifesaver.
Danica! How did you do on your first marathon? I forgot this was your first. I hope you had a great race! Looking forward to reading all about it.
It went better than I thought it would for the first one
I actually held back a bit at the beginning which I think helped me get a surge of energy at mile 17 and I never hit that wall, but I can’t wait to run it again next year and try to beat my time – 4:59:35 haha. How did it go for you? I saw all the other girls but looked and never saw you. We all need a reunion soon
