I recently just finished my 'reverse taper' from my first marathon, but while doing that the little rascally bunny passed me by. I've started a new training plan to prepare for my next marathon in late March. As it now stands, the plan would have me fall about 4 miles short of 1500 miles! But it also has me resting on Dec 31. So of course, number 1, I've got to stick with my plan - I can't afford to miss any days! And number 2, I've got to run Dec 31!! (or of course, I could just do the sane thing and add in a 2 or 3 extra miles per week between now and then; but how boring is that?). This is definitely going to come down-to-the wire. Anyone else coming down to the wire? Congrats to all who have already passed the mark, or will shortly - great work!

I'm only 8 miles ahead of the rodent. 26.2 more on Sunday should put me ahead for good Tongue

Jacksonville. I've heard good things about it, and I have other reasons too that I'll post after the race. I still don't know how to approach it, as a long run with support, or go for it and try for a fast time. My running lately has been...uh, sporadic and random, to say the least. Also I'm dealing with a problem in my foot which will be a factor. MTA: I think an "upcoming races" board would be cool. I'll post a note to Eric.

Sounds like with your foot, and 'sporadic' training, treating it as a long run with support might be the way to go...looking forward to your report!
