5 miles along the Hudson in New York.  Feels alright. 5:30 pace.  Hate these tapers to a race.  I would rather just get out on a long run.

Follow your instincts! ;-) Long tapers before half marathons are not necessary. Benny has the right idea.

BTW - my race schedule looks like it may overlap yours quite a bit. Are you interested in carpooling to the SLC races (or I suppose you might be coming from the airport anyway...)

Good luck this weekend, sounds like you are ready!

BTW, the Missoula Marathon is in July not August.

Thanks guys. I could have used the advice a few weeks ago. I really felt behind on race day.

And thanks for the well wishes.

Sounds like I need to get rid of the Missoula marathon. Way too many races!
