So, I'm signed up for my first marathon ever at age 52. I've been running for about 1.5 years and have completed a half as well as numerous 5 and 10k's. Next weekend is an 8-miler race, and in August, 6 of us will be completing a 10 mile relay. Looking for any advice to newbies...particularly how to handle a long hill at the END of the marathon!

Since this Sept. 17th is my first, I can't give you advice until after then. I am curious myself, because there's a mile 23 hill in mine!
