Perry- I think that you've run Frederick before, so you may know this already, but just make sure you get there SUPER early- there is no easy way to get into the stadium once traffic starts backing up.

Bugs: My only goal mara this year so far was LPRM, which went well (7min PR). I did National 2 weeks later on lark and had a lot of fun, and intend on doing 3 more, but none for goal times. This coming week Frederick (goal = distance), in the fall Baltimore (accompany wife on her first mara), and then around Thanksgiving Rehoboth (accompany both wife & sister who are relaying it).

Wonder how a low milage week will effect my marathon in 3 weeks. Hmmmmmmm should I run before they get home, should I run after they go to bed or should I just go with my feeling lazy and take the day off?
I ran a mile and I liked it, liked it, liked it. dgb2n@yahoo.com
Probably no effect. Possibly even might improve it as an early start to your taper. Listen to your body, Pam.
Anyone know any tips besides tasers?

Love that Lou's recovery runs are 30 seconds slower than marathon pace.
Oh Mighty Wing
Define "low mileage week" for you. 60 miles? Regardless, I am sure you have whatever hay you need already in the barn.
Lou - more details on the Johnstown marathon please - or at least the date for that weekend! Pam - if you are feeling lazy you probably need the rest. it's not normal for you to not feel like running!! haha
