When it’s all said and done, will you have said more than you’ve done?
I've got a fever...
On your deathbed, you won't wish that you'd spent more time at the office. But you will wish that you'd spent more time running. Because if you had, you wouldn't be on your deathbed.

I'm doing the 24 wk/55mi plan for my marathon on Oct 7. I'm currently in the 5th week. I would think that if you're going to scale back some of the mileage, it would be best to do it on the recovery runs and rest those days instead. These are Pfitz' runs in the 4-6 mile range.
BTW, you are probably the closest RA user to me :-). I live in Grand Prairie, but I'm actually in Grand Peninsula on Joe Pool Lake so I'm right next to Mansfield. My daughter is just finsihing Kindergarten this week and she's in the Mansfield ISD.
Almost didn't get the long run in today due to it raining almost all day, but it finally let up, so I skipped dinner and went out.
I do my long runs in the morning. I got up at 5 am and it was clear for the first hour, but I ran the last 2 hours in the rain. I haven't had to make that decision as yet, but I've always wondered if I would head out running if it's raining from the beginning.
