Going to back off the running this summer and substitute cardio and core (weights). I'll get a run in on the weekends and with the local summer 5Ks. Did this program one summer and it worked out fairly well. There's about 5 minutes of yoga in the cardio workout and, yeah, it's rough.

Try to stay true to a pace you can sustain and don't let yourself get swept up in the excitement at the beginning of the race. And above all: Have Fun!

Enjoy it! The thrill of the race will help with the last two miles. Just dont start to quickly, as Swissmiss already mentioned.
I trained my back today. Was nice to do something after the resting period.

Been missing in action this week but still hitting the road:
7 miles Saturday, 4 miles Monday, 4 miles Wednesday.

What she said! Good luck and enjoy!
Go through your warm-up routine. Start slow - it's a marathon, not a sprint. Make sure to hydrate at the stations - alternate between water and Gatorade, Powerade. Recovery will be important. Soak feet in ice water to reduce swelling. Stretch. Make sure to consume protein afterwards - about 20-25 grams. And carbs. Oatmeal, greek yougurt, eggs are all good. Or a nice stack of pancakes, but go easy on the syrup.
And most importantly, enjoy your race!
I'm thinking of cutting back on the runs too - 1 or 2 a week until time to start training for W&D. Need more core & weights.

I won a table tennis tourney today! Couldn’t make time for a lift, but the ping pong cardio was good!

I did a fast 3. It was kinda wet and chilly.

Not sure if this is a valid for a marathon for this topic.
Watched 16 MCU films the past week. Marvel Marathon! I loved infinity war, but I only have seen GotG and Dr. Strange in the past, so infinity war was a lot of unknown heroes for me.
But now I know them all.

Warm-ups? I should probably start doing that eh? There was only water available at 3 stations along the way and I took advantage. No icing/soaking needed afterwards but I did take a nap shortly after finishing!
I survived! According to Strava I PR'd my 5k (37:54) and finished with NO walking @ 12:27/mi - Disney here I come!!

My trainer is going to write a running/strength program for me and I'm sure it's going to be Run 3x/week (for up to 1 hour) and strength 3x a week. Sundays = REST day <3
Congrats on the PR! Was it a timed race? If so, I'd use the results for your POT.
The recommendation for training for a Half is to run 30-40 miles a week.
