Week 28: Marathon!
If I follow the plan exactly, Marathon Day will be April 15, 2012. That may be cutting it kinda close to my next half-marathon which is April 29th, so there will probably be some changes. Especially since I won't be running an actual marathon until September. Do I really need a 29-mile training run?! What I'll most likely do is either 1) Get rid of Weeks 24 and 25, in which case I would have a full month before the half, or 2) Stop at Week 20, which will be 26 miles. And at this point, all I really want to know is that I CAN do it!
Any opinions?

It sounds like a good long-term plan that counts on progressively getting to the marathon. I'll be cheering you on during your training!

Okay, what did I miss? You are training for a full marathon but not actually running it?
Thanks you all for the kind words!
Mango, I'm not running the full marathon until next September. I'm doing a "dry run" of this training program just to make sure I can do it (even though I already know I can do anything I set my mind to!) :)
The only "official" races I have in the next 6 months are the 10-mile (which will now be 11 miles) run for Farm Sanctuary on 11/6 and the St. Luke's Half Marathon on 4/29.
It was a great marathon training, I love the race shirt- it's really cute. Congratulations for a great job well done and looking forward always.
This is very helpful for me because sometimes I really feel difficult to schedule my routine but after seeing you’re one’s, I thought of following it.
