24 April - Newby marathon supporters

If you're ever going to be one, here's some advice because you're not running, or jogging but you're walking and you're standing still on one spot for several hours as you wait for your braver first timer of a friend to wave you by at mile 14 and mile 21 and by that point, certain time projections will be altered.
If the sun is beating down on you... you're toast.
I guess an umbrella would be useful in any weather, lots of food and comfy shoes and no, you can't take anything to read as you have to watch or you miss her/him.
