Training goes quite well. I am not that good with my lactate threshold, but in fact it is hard to judge it from training alone. My next race is not until February; my secret dream of racing a local 8K last weekend totally evaporated due to family budget constraints. Anyway, I guess it is not unreasonable to only race when I have a chance to do my best - the weekend race was still too close to the marathon to perform 100%.

I'm thinking about my next marathon already, and maybe (depending on many things, like real life) I will run the 2011 Kentucky Derby Marathon. Nothing earlier for sure.
