Marathon Questions

Since I have no previous marathon experience, I have thought of a few stupid marathon questions.

1. Just how easy is it for the crowd to see the runners in multiple places during the race? In London, this was super easy because of public transportation. In Cincinnati, I'm sure roads are closed. :(
2. Is it stupid if I wear my finishing medal all day? I feel like I will deserve it. :)
3. Will I really feel like partying that night? I would love to (especially since I have cut out alcohol and soda for an entire week!!!)
4. How will I feel the next day? I took the day off, which I think is a good move, but sitting around on the couch for an entire day is not exactly my style.
5. Since I don't get massages regularly, I am not going to get one before the race...but how about after?
6. OK, since this is my first race I am NOT going to worry about pace too much, but come on, there are pace clocks everywhere. I don't want to freak out if I am going too fast in the beginning, but the fact of the matter is, that every race I do, I pace at LEAST a minute faster per mile than my training runs...so for the marathon...what?
7. Just how hungry am I going to be afterwards?
8. Everyone keeps emphasizing warm clothes for the finish. In the London Marathon I saw people wrapping themselves in those foil-looking blankets...won't we be extremely hot afterwards?

That's it I guess...
For now.

Tomorrow I am hopping on a plane to journey back home and REST until the marathon. So no more posts until Saturday. :(
