OK -- The volume is really coming down now and I've got three days off this week (yes!). The key workout this week is on Wednesday when I do my final interval session -- 3 times a mile at 5k pace with 2 minutes rest. It seems hard but shouldn't be too bad given the rest interval. Other then that it's strides a 'short' 12 miler on Sunday. I'm starting to get the pre-race butterflies as I approach March 22. The other item I'm focusing on is my nutrition. I need to closely watch what I eat the next couple weeks and make sure I don't put down too many calories as my training effort decreases.

Looking good there on your plan. I'm at the exact same point, exact same plan. Did my 7 this morning before work (going for a ride this afternoon), then hitting the gym Wednesday morning to hit the 1600s at a controlled pace, off Thursday, short run Friday, off Saturday, then the easy 12 on Sunday.
Drop in when you can; maybe we can compare notes.
