@vetguy1991 Awwww... I'm a friend of yours?? 😉 Lol, we have been friends for quite some time, huh? Anyway...
@Lindaisfun Hi Linda... I'm not sure how much advice I have. I do run every day, but I've never done a full marathon (done several half-marathons though).
I know that you want to work your way up to the distance. If your marathon is in a few weeks, then I expect you're doing a long run each week now and that long run is up around 20 miles, right?
Also, hydrate hydrate hydrate, but I'm sure you know that. Know your electrolyte balance stuff.
As for diet, I presume you've gone high protein already, right? If not, I think they recommend that at this point. And I'm sure you know about carb loading, right?
On marathon day, your main competition is really you. Don't psych yourself out. Good luck!
