I'm doing what I consider my official simulation run this weekend. I did the 2.5 miler Wednesday, 5 miler Thursday, 10 miler today and I'm doing my 20 miler tomorrow morning. I get up at 4am to run anyway so I'm somewhat simulating the "getting up early" part too. My race plan for the 5k is similar to a lot I've read here. I plan on walking most of it since I've never done Marathon Weekend 5k and most I've heard say that's the best race since most of it is in the park while it's dark and empty. I want to soak that one in! I'll run most of the 10k, but planned to get a few pics along the way. Run the entire Half and Full and only do a handful of pics those days, especially for the full. Once I get 15+ miles in, stopping is a death knell for me usually. My goal for the races I actually run is to average around 8:30 pace. That'll be quite slower than my half PR, but it would actually be a full marathon PR if I can accomplish that. Whatever happens, I'm not setting out to achieve any PR's. If one happens, I'm good with it.
