It’s REALLY stupid to run in worn out shoes.
It’s REALLY stupid to go too fast in the early miles.
IT’s REALLY stupid to assume that the sharp steep points on the course gradient map are ‘blips’.

Toenails are for wimps.
It doesn’t matter how much it hurt, you will be looking at other marathons to enter within a week. Pain fades, but you’ve still got the medal. And the monster inside you screaming for a new PB.
