5 pm, 8 miles. windy and 57.  Felt tired at first, then felt very strong and pushed the pace.  Book club night!

Germantown Half Marathon is March 16!  Should I do long runs during the next 2 weekends?

I'm doing my last one this Sunday (12 miles) with some HM pace running in there. Next week, I will run a 10 miler during the week and nothing long after March 7th. I used to taper too much. I have learned a great deal from www.therunzone.com. Tinman, you might have heard of him, has an "Ask Tinman" forum. He has always been an advocate of lower mileage runners not tapering as much. I did it with success in my last marathon. Good luck!

Thanks, Mike! I had not heard of Tinman - it looks like there's a lot of good information out there on the site. Good Luck to you also - less than 2 weeks to go! (3/3)
