I started a blog a few weeks ago to track my journey to my first marathon. Please feel free to follow and give any comments or suggestions. If anyone has run a marathon before and pointers and feedback is greatly appreciated!

Good for you!

Not sure if you are local or not, but I've done that race a bunch of times (full 3 times & half 4 times), so let me know if you need any info.

i am local (irvine)

do you carry camel pack with you or just use the water stations?

No need for a camelbak IMHO. I usually carry a regular 16 ounce plastic water bottle at the start - that way I don't have to bother with the first few water stations and I can ditch it at any time.

Make sure to run Edwards hill before the race. It used to be at mile 22, but then they reworked the course so now you hit it at mile 8 or 9(?).
