Good luck to all of you who will be running this year. This is my first marathon. Any pointers for the race are welcome. BTW, in homage to liny89, I am wearing a medium-sized running shirt, because I like my running shirts to fit tight.

Take in small amounts of liquid at every opportunity but don't over hydrate at any one point. This is pure pleasure. I presume you're not an elite runner who has to worry about his time.Wear an SJU tee. This will be one of the greatest feelings you'll ever experience.I've run 6 and the first was the best. I'm retired from marathons but I'll be a spectator in Brooklyn. Good luck.

The first half will be very slow due to the number of people ahead of you. It's impossible to pass 20,000 or so people. You will have plemty of energy once the crowd thins out. Go get em.Thanks Derk! I'm definitely not an elite runner. If I can finish in the 4 hour range, that would be great. If not, I'll still enjoy the ride.
