What don't you do on "Marathon Eve"?

I'll start.

Don't eat at a Thai Resturant for the first time.

Hang out my running socks by the chimney hoping they will be filled with power bars and gels when I wake up.

On the contrary, sex is a must. Otherwise, the sight of so many cute butts might make me "happy" and with those short shorts, I can't go that route.

1) Get a good meal.
2) Relax in the hotel room
3) Take a few minutes to get things prepared for race morning.

I'm pretty boring I guess.

Now i am having second thoughts on joining you in the 3:50 pace group. I guess if I don't wear makeup during the race I should be ok. :-)

Re: What don't you do on "Marathon Eve"?
I won't do anything that I haven't done prior to any other workout or race. This is not a good time to try something new. Don't mess with what works!

Re: What don't you do on "Marathon Eve"?
buy a new pair of shoes that I will wear for the first time at the race

(I just noticed that the one posting this was looking for some humor, not serious comments)

I will definitely have to agree with that one. But make sure you don?t do any of the work, be a taker, you have to conserve your energy for your marathon tomorrow you know. This will help you relax.
