+7.5, 65.5 total. All this running is paying off BIG. 7 miles at, what I hope to be my half marathon race pace <7min/mile. The rest was warm up and cool down.

That's great work!
I hope to get a little faster one day. I did 7 miles last weekend at 8:25 per. I was tired but still had something left. I'm shooting for a 9:00 pace for my marathon, but I'm starting to have doubts.

Thanks. When is your marathon? Don't you have a little time left?

I've really adopted the philosophy some of my tri friends have taught me. Run often, mostly easy, and sometimes hard. I used the McMillan calculator to help me with paces. Then set a reasonable goal pace and trained around it. Basically it was using my marathon pace for most runs except for long runs. So most of my runs are easy shorter runs at marathon pace. Once a week I do a long run at 30" to 1' per mile more than marathon pace. The last 1.25 miles I finish strong. Step up to marathon pace with 1.25 left, then 30" under for the last .25. Another run per week is a medium distance run. That run is either a tempo run at a 1/2 marathon pace, hills and intervals, or a marathon pace run. I do 2 weeks tempo or hills/intervals and then one week easy marathon pace. I've adjusted this for different race distances also. It seems to take the guess work and worry out of pacing on race day.

Good luck! You've definitely got a great base going and you'll do great.

Marathon isn't until May 5th. Ive been using Higdons Intermediate 2 plan. It doesn't have any speed work in it. I think the idea is to get to the starting line injury free. I run a couple days lower mileage (5) at Marathon pace and a mid week 10 miler at marathon -30. my Saturday run is usually at marathon pace and my long Sunday run is about 1.5 minutes slower than MP. I'm worried if I start doing speed work now I might get injured.
Thanks for the encouragement!
