My first marathon is Saturday and Im so nervous. I was having knee issues towards the end of training, and ended up doing physical therapy. Long story short, they said it was basicly stretching issus so they had me doing a lot of stretching. But basicly in doing this they had me take almost four weeks off of running. Im so nervous to go into a race really not having ran in four weeks. Also my longest run was 18 miles, I hadnt run a full 20 yet! Please wish me luck!

    Try some moist heat on your knee before you get going on Saturday. Start some Aleve the day before so it's in your system and some before the race. And after you've crossed the finish line and can get to ice, put some on your knee. Have fun and enjoy the experience of what you're accomplishing!!
