You might try carrying a bag of really sweet dates, such as medjool
dates, or a box of raisins (not a little box, either.)
Eventually, you won't really need to fuel up during a marathon, but
your muscles are not that great at holding glycogen at the moment.
That will be part of your training effect.

Congratulations on your HUGE accomplishments. Marathon distance is
a big goal, and if for ANY reason you don't make it this Jan, I already
have confidence that you WILL make it eventually. FWIW, the average,
I believe, is that about 7-8 out of 10 finish each marathon they start.

I have a good friend that has run 16 marathons. He has finished 13 of
them. On the other three, various things forced him to stop. Such is
life.
