Subject: 10K race two weeks before first marathon
There's a 10-K race that I really would like to do but I looked at the date of it and it's two weeks before the Philly Marathon.  The Philly Marathon will be my first marathon so I think it's VITAL for me to go into the race with as fresh legs as possible.  My longest run to date is about 12-13 miles and I'm simply using the marathon as a way to get ready for the IMLP next year.

Current thought = run the 10K at my marathon pace goal (TBD).

Your thoughts?

Will not be a problem. Just use it as a training day.

Be careful not to go all out, but as a tempo/race pace practice run, it should be great.  Good luck in the Philly Marathon!
