I think pre-race jitters have gotten to ya chica. You'll be fine. Wear the 902s with confidence and make it happen out there.
This seems like a very easy one to me. Wear the 902's. And you're not even breaking the imaginary nothing-new-on-race-day rule...they're 57 miles old and no problems. I don't know that running the full distance makes any difference. When you run a marathon eventually you'll have to cut that clause out of the rule anyway--unless you plan on doing 26.2 mile training runs--so you might as well start now.
