I would want the steady state aerobic benefit of a more controlled running route. Trails have their place, but I'd be hesitant to sub one out for a long run. Especially a longer trail run that could potentially add recovery time or worse, twist your ankle this close to marathon day.

When I first started out, I would run 1-3 miles about 3 times per week. I gradually built up a weekend long run to about 7-8 miles. The trick to starting out is to not stress your body with consecutive days running, high miles per week, and speedwork.

I don't have my schedule for anything beyond April 5th, but I am racing my spring marathon (Carmel) on the 18th, and jogging a half (Kentucky Derby) on the 25th. April goal: ~150mi

I do have dainty wrists, what can I say :)

Looks like a 2" screen... It's definitely not going to be my everyday runner, but I'll wear it for races and long runs. It's a little heavy :)

In running related news, I won this cool Timex One GPS watch from Run the Bluegrass. It was a contest for who could run the most 3+ mile training runs from 9 Nov - 22 Mar, and I had 160 runs. It does live tracking, text messaging without a phone, and has 4gb of music storage with Bluetooth headphone capability.

No sprints. Drop the excess weight and run easy miles.

Stop running in temperatures under 40 degrees.

If you can truly manage your expectations and hold yourself accountable for your diminished performance, I say go for it. If you're ok with walking it, there's no sense in a DNS.
