[quote=Anonymous]I ran it last year, first marathon. One of the best tips someone gave me was to iron or write on your name to your shirt. I got those iron letters from michaels and put it on the front of my shirt. A ton of people did this, others wrote first marathon on their legs or something funny on their arms, etc. The reason you do this is to get spectators to cheer for you, yell "Go Larla, you got this" when they see you and read your shirt. So many strangers did this for me, it was incredible and had a profound effect on me and my spirit. Because after a while you sort of end up in a pack, all running a similar pace, I was seeing the same people at different points because these strangers were moving from point to point to cheer on someone who must have been just a few minutes behind me. It was great. So if you think you may not have anyone to see you (and I really hope you do, it is a major accomplishment) consider doing this.[/quote]
