Good morning #FlyingPig ????! I hope you have a great race. I'll be cheering for you at @WCPO castle, Mile 7, up the hill.by Chip Mahaney via twitter 5/7/2017 10:22:49 AM -
2017 is the first year I haven't run a #FlyingPig race since 2010, maybe? And yes I'm definitely having runners remorse for not signing up.by Chip Mahaney via twitter 5/7/2017 10:23:57 AM

The start at @RunFlyingPig is pretty high energy as Marathons go.by Mike Canan via twitter 5/7/2017 10:32:00 AM

Roughly an hour and 15 minutes until the half-marathon winner crosses the Finish Swine. #FlyingPigby Shannon Russell via twitter 5/7/2017 10:32:12 AM

Most important part of the first few miles is don't do anything to hurt yourself. The most common mistake is starting too fastby Mike Canan via twitter 5/7/2017 10:33:27 AM

But you can also get minor issues or pop a shoe off weaving through the crowd at the beginning.by Mike Canan via twitter 5/7/2017 10:33:54 AM

People who don't run marathons are often surprised by the fact that if you run one you likely end up running more like 26.4 miles not 26.2by Mike Canan via twitter 5/7/2017 10:34:45 AM
-
The reason is weaving in and out of crowds or taking turns to wide over 26 miles adds up. You have to take the turns perfectly to run 26.2by Mike Canan via twitter 5/7/2017 10:35:29 AM
