A day of rest

So, my plan is to run the Frederick Marathon (www.frederickmarathon.org/Home_73.htm) on May 2. This is my first attempt at a marathon and I'm a bit nervous. I've been running a long time, but never distances greater than 15 miles. I have run 5K, 10K, 10-mile and 1/2 marathons, but have never taking the jump to the full 26.4 miles. Did I say I was kinda nervous? Anyway, I'm about 18 weeks from that goal,and I've started a running program to build up my long run... it can be found here...

It fits into my schedule and I feel I have the base to complete it. Over the summer and fall, i began building a base, so that I'm running between 30-35 miles per week. If you want to look at my log, look here..
