i was just reading in the discussion forum about your tapering question. i couldn't figure out how to reply so a came here to your blog.
Sasha is the only person know who would call your mileage "still low enough".
for whatever it is worth i tapered last year for about a full month. i don't know for sure how much i ran but you could look at my blog from last year to see. i also only did one slow 20 miler. i had a huge pr, never hit the wall and had a lot of fun. whenever i run a marathon my first goal is have fun, 2nd to finish, and thirdly if i run fast then it is just an added bonus. good luck.
