Trail of Light

Update: I have changed below to show the picture of the map that I ran today. Some very important things I have learned are listed below:

1. Get more then 5 hours of sleep before a marathon especially if you have had a hectic week with 4 hours or so sleep per night
2. Stick to eating pasta before the marathon it helps
3. Do not eat after 9 even if your friend has a birthday dinner party. The stomach pains will hit somewhere around the 30th Km
4. If you are a barefoot runner, do not run with a vibram five finger. As much as I love this shoes (I run 10 Km in them every day), I got pain in my toes mainly because of the asphalt. For a marathon and barefoot running I would suggest the nike free (at least i tried those)

Tomorrow is Beirut Marathon and for those of you who would like feel free to check out the map below to see how I am doing.
