[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Go, but don’t tell her. Plan to be completely independent the whole time. Surprise her at the finish line, make sure she knows you are there, take pictures, etc. — but then tell her you are happily going to be in your own hotel room that night, and for her to send pics from her celebration with her friends.

Your being there at the finish line will mean more to her than you will know. But also, she is right to be 110% focused on her preparation ahead of the race, and her recovery/celebration. [/quote]

No, please don't do this!

This sounds kind of like the partners who propose at the finish line. The intention is sweet, but it sounds like it's not what she wants.

OP, if I could guess, she may be nervous about how she'll do and she may feel extra pressure if you are there. I ran a bunch of marathons. The first two were ROUGH. I didn't meet my expectations and was really upset. If she enjoys this, she may run one down the road where she will welcome your attendance. [/quote]
