First marathons are the best! which one is it going to be??

Hey Claudio... It's the Baystate Marathon in Lowell MA. It's a double loop course that is supposedly flat & fast. I haven't been getting the running in that I would like lately and my long run for the year is 13.1 miles. I'd like to get a 18-20 miler in this weekend to see how my body reacts to the increased mileage. I've had some plantar faciitis issues all year, so we'll see. Do you recommend trying to latch on to a pace group?

Hi - sorry for the delay of this reply, I have turned off my email notifications. Wow I didn't realize you meant you signed up for a 26.2 next month! that's great! I would not go with a pace group for a first marathon, I would not even run with a watch... but it's a matter of personal preferences, preparation and goals. good luck and by any means, put some long runs in :) !
