Any 2011 Marine Corps Marathon runners out here?

Hello Everyone,

I was seeing who else on the board is running the MCM this October? It will be my first full marathon, so any tips, suggestions, or advice will be greatly appreciated. My husband is a Marine and will be on his 3rd deployment to Afghanistan at race time, so it seemed only fitting to run it. I will be following Hal Higdon's training schedule, and will officially start Monday! Lastly, if there are support groups on here for it, please steer me in the right direction. And if not, let's start one!

Have a great day and happy running! TIA for any advice given
