But do not believe that Leah cannot do what she sets out to do. For long runs during those weeks I think she ran a 14, a 16, an 18, a 20 and a 14, and then she pretty much took the last three weeks off.
Resting her legs, she said, which indeed does have value when near a marathon. She did run a six-miler with me early in the week leading up to it and I ran it hard, because I had been practicing my six-milers for weeks leading up to me jumping in with her during the last six miles of the marathon to help her out.
She had no problem keeping up, I was the one who had a problem keeping up with her. We ran a slow three miler later in the week, and I told her to do a couple of fast miles on Friday and that I'd see her at MP 19 on Sunday.
