• June 11th (Tunnel Marathon):  Taper madness begins. 14-18 miles, with last 8-10 @ MGP. Start nice and relaxed, and then use honest MGP for last 8-10 miles.

• June 17th (Grandma’s Marathon): 20-22 miles. The last loooonnnggg run. Practice your carbo-loading strategy. Add 1-2 miles to your last longer long run, up to that 22 mile max.
