Imminent Catastrophe
I am not one to follow a training plan. I tried, it never works...

Speed my steps along your path, according to your will.
I have also used the perfessorR's idea of weekly mileage goals, which allows for more flexibility for us family folks.
esq.
But since I don't get paid to run, I don't think my husband would understand if I decided to stay home instead.
Any suggestions?
Runners run
of either splitting the race into two and running two different paces, or doing an every other 5k distance paces (say 9 min miles and then 8 min miles).
This is JMO, but going from a 9 min mile to an 8 min mile late in the marathon will be, at best, very difficult, and at worst, impossible.
Not sure what I'm doing here. I have enough group(s) in my life already; one. But somehow I wandered in here and found your question, Michelle, so I figured I'd chime in.
