I'm lightly trained but feeling good. Looking back I see my peak week was 47 miles and my low week was 10 the first week of September (I was on a business trip in Europe). I've switched two days of running to a spinning class so I'm getting some good, but different, exercising in.
I greatly changed my goal from the two marathons I ran last year. Both of those I was planning to average an 8:00 pace. The first one I walked most of the last 10K and I couldn't hold 8's after mile 16 at the TCM but I didn't have to walk. My preliminary plan is to run a 9:00 pace for the first 20 and then pickup the pace the last 10K. I want a negative split and I plan to have fun running it.
I'm running 15 tomorrow and then I suppose nothing longer than 10 or 12 until the TCM.

Sounds like you have a good plan of attack for this marathon. Better to be lightly trained than burnt out or hurt. I bet you will have fun and do very well. Enjoy the taper!
