Big Sur Marathon
I am running the Big Sur Marathon this year.
I have run more than my share of half-marathons (13.1 miles), but this will be my first full length event.
Based on my reading, if there is one marathon to do in North America modulo Boston, Big Sur is it.
I am at the end of my training arc and I have happened upon an approach that I am going to use moving forward.
Half-marathons on MWF each week (doing this now), one marathon per month run on a Sunday with the week following off.
I don’t know if the week off is going to be enough, but I did 22 miles the other day and it took me two down days to recover, so I hope 8 days is fine.
I’ll be taking photos and tweeting from the event, as it is my excuse to walk up H. Ridge, so you can share in the adventure.
This also let’s me tell people if I need some to pick me up. 
Go Doug Go! Good Luck!
Maybe next year I’ll join you!

I didnt realise you were into running. It’s one of my passions right now too. I have a couple of 1/2s coming up next month and some fulls later this year.
Good luck in the race! We single down week could be good enough, but i would lower the mileage the week before that too just to be safe.
