5 days
5 days until the marathon. am i nervous? i keep telling myself i'm not...but yea, i guess i am. to be honest, i've never really taken the marathon seriously. my first one, i just wanted to finish and i knew i eventually would. my second one, i just wanted to be faster. no set time, just faster. my third, i just wanted to finish next to my brother.
none of those races worried me. there really wasn't anything huge riding on it. yes, if i don't BQ, there's always next year. but honestly, i think this is the best shot at it that i've ever had.
3:09:59.
i will qualify.

You'll be fine. The formula to convert a half to a full marathon for someone who's in shape to run that distance is 2x+10, giving you a 2*86 + 10 = 182 = 3:02 based on the Chicago Distance Classic. So long as it's not gusty and pouring, I think you'll do A-ok.
