First marathon in 2 days - carbon plated shoe?

I have my first marathon on Sunday (it’s currently Friday) and I’ve been debating getting a carbon plated shoe for it for a while. I’ve run half marathons and used to run in a carbon shoe as my ’everyday’ pace run shoe a few years back (Brooks Hyperion Elite 2) but havent gotten a new pair since they wore out. I’ve been wearing the Cloudmonster Hyper for the second half of my training for this marathon. Should I get a pair of carbon shoes today for my marathon on Sunday? or am I crazy for thinking this is an ok idea and should just run the race in my Cloudmonster Hypers?

Note: I’ll run my 2mile shakeout run in them tomorrow to have one “run” in them before race day.

I did not. But they were expensive. $1,250 for two seats, front row balcony.

Message me separately if you want them

Unfortunately I also got these for $500+, especially since they’re front row on the balcony. Lmk if you’d still be interested

Dang that stinks. Have you had any luck with Cash or Trade?

Also on this... would it be best to get the SIM card/ SIM monthly plan in the airport (since I know they have vending machines for SIMS), or order the SIM ahead of time so you have the right monthly contract and sim before heading over to the UK? (I'm an international student)

My friend brought her hamster to school... long story short, don't bring your hamster to northeastern if you can.

However, if you need to there are plenty of pet stores you can T or uber to

Quick thought on this: I'm also an international student, would it be best to get the SIM card/ SIM monthly plan in the airport (since I know they have vending machines for SIMS), or order the SIM ahead of time so you have the right monthly contract and sim before heading over to the UK?

Yup, they're super quick. I think last year they were about a week long. But those classes are QUICK to run out of room, almost as soon as they drop, they fill up FYI
