The entire linked article is worthwhile. I emailed it to our friend who is running the Erie Marathon with us. Even though the article is about ultra running and race day prep, it still applies for marathon prep.
I have cut and pasted my favorite part for your reading pleasure. I hope the salty language doesn't offend you. My excuse is that I was in the Army many years and use and appreciation for the lingo lingers. My personal belief is that words are just words if being used as descriptors. If they are being used to insult or belittle, or purposely to make someone uncomfortable, that is where I draw the line.

Be Your Best Self
A lot of times in a race, my number one goal is to have a good attitude. My best races are when my primary goal is to race with a fuckload of grace. Sounds cheesy, but it works.
