I did, however, do 18 miles the Thursday prior to the Monday race. I must be insane. Don't listen to me Jon. Do your 16 and then do the 5K for fun. Spare your body any unnecessary pain!

But Detroit at the end of October for over 26 miles ... might get a little chilly on the piggly wigglies!

Start the 5K easy and see how much is in your tank to finish strong. You'll know what to do. The 5K is not what you're training for so don't let it kill you.

Marathon is the priority, right? That's my vote. Also, in response to the earlier part of your entry-I don't think there are "safe limits" to how fast you should be running in races. Just try and cross the line as fast as you possibly can. Besides, the good races have ambulances onsite. Do the 16 miles and then the 5K nice and easy. Marathon is the priority, right?
