This time next week I'll be stumbling drunk up and down the stairs, not from booze but from post marathon side affects. Bring it on!
Sarah found a great website that allows you to plug your goal time to create a pace band. You can select the time of start you want (slow, slow/med) and it calculates what you need to do at each mile. Basically it has you starting slow for a few miles, running a little faster than your goal for most of the middle of the run, and then slower at the end giving you a cushion in case you slow down. I think it will help assure us in the beginning that it's ok to start slow.
This week we are running a 35 minute easy run, 3 400's at the track during a 45 minute easy run, and a 30 minute jog on Friday.

Good luck on the marathon!!! I tried to do the mile pacing thing when I ran this last year, but soon realized that the hills threw that plan out the window. Next time I would join a pace group.
