The most common mistake is starting too fast by 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 26.2 by 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 26.2 by Mike Canan via twitter 5/7/2017 10:35:29 AM Volunteers are preparing @RunFlyingPig medals as entrants run and walk. http://pbs.twimg.com/media/C_N7gy7W0AAeT1X.jpg by Shannon Russell via twitter 5/7/2017 10:36:28 AM As temperatures heat up many marathoners will shed gloves and hats by Mike Canan via twitter 5/7/2017 10:36:29 AM Volunteers are preparing @RunFlyingPig medals as entrants run and walk. http://pbs.twimg.com/media/C_N7gy7W0AAeT1X.jpg by Shannon Russell via twitter retweeted by RunFlyingPig 5/7/2017 10:36:38 AM Up close and personal. #FlyingPig http://pbs.twimg.com/media/C_N7ogxXoAArXf_.jpg by Shannon Russell via twitter 5/7/2017 10:36:57 AM This temperature I would probably start the race in a tshirt, headband (for ear warmth) and gloves. by Mike Canan via twitter 5/7/2017 10:37:13 AM In fact, I wish I had gloves right now. by Mike Canan via twitter 5/7/2017 10:37:31 AM Up close and personal. #FlyingPig http://pbs.twimg.com/media/C_N7ogxXoAArXf_.jpg by Shannon Russell via twitter retweeted by Mike_Canan 5/7/2017 10:37:58 AM Volunteers are in place along the 26.2-mile and 13.1-mile course.

Far from perfect volunteer weather! Especially for handing out water or Gatorade because you get splashed by Mike Canan via twitter 5/7/2017 10:40:27 AM Runners!
