I am so excited that my 20 year old daughter has taken running more seriously. She is a dance major at SMU in Dallas. She has kept her stamina for dance by jogging 2 mi a day however her hall director has encouraged her towards more miles. She now has decided to sign up for the Dallas White Rock Marathon. I had already signed up for Houston in January but decided that the one in Dallas could be my 21 mi training run. I plan to use it as a B race and take it easy only to get the last long run in before Houston. Is this a smart way to look at it. I have never run two marathons in one year. I have run 3 or 4 halfs in one year. What is a good plan?

I have recovered from my half IM a week ago and am ready for a new challenge. Thanks.
