I guess it would be odd if you weren't nervous, though. Try to relax, don't panic, trust your training, eat properly. You'll have a great day.

There was, I'm told, a banner at last year's VLM: Run like you've stolen something!:-)

my first and early marathons over 20 years ago -

a few were blighted by nerves, some bad,

could'nt eat properly, affected my performance, - one year at New forest ithink, nerves made me stop for toilet and i never got going again

so, message is

try and relax and breath nicely - listen to music, do what ever

good luck seriously
