Yes, 3 weeks out my long run was 5 miles. My only 20 miler was really four 5 mile runs with short breaks.

Previous marathons:
05/08 - 3:32 - Flying Pig

04/10 - 3:18 - Boston

Ok, fine, here's a race report - Pricelined the Hyatt (host hotel) for $100. buca di beppo and BD's Mongolian BBQ are both walking distance from start/finish/hotel and yummy, interesting, and affordable (like $10 per person). Get reservations at buca if going the day before the race. My party of 6 waited for almost 90 minutes. The goody bag sucked, the race shirt is black short sleeve Nike technical shirt, and the expo was average (for a race with 15,000 people).
