My taper for the 1/2 marathon

looks like some serious taper for the 1/2 marathon that is 3 weeks away. I am having anxiety about only doing a 60 minute long run this week and then less next week. would it be ok if I get one more long run in (maybe 10 miles)..

Marian, yes you can do that, but run it 6 miles easy (Goal pace + 20 to 30 seconds per mile) and then the last 4 at Goal Race Pace.

Then monday is swim only or off.

How does that sound?
