Thanks a million, BigWillie, for your reply! I'm doing Portland, too. I don't have a specific time in mind, just "my best." And maybe "before dark." LOL

Yes, I've done 12, 13, 14, 16, 18. The 18 I had to do in the gym on the treadmill because it was so incredibly hot outside with nights that didn't cool down much. Still, all of my long runs have gone well with no pain or injuries and stiffness that I can work out in a day or two.

This weekend is going to be 20 - the longest of the training runs. I think I do another 18 and another 20 before race day, and I'm completely confident I can complete them without needing to walk at all.

Thanks again for your response. I really appreciate the reassurance.
