Training for the 2011 New York City Marathon Goal: Break 3 hours

I am currently in the 7th week of a 16 week training plan for the NYC Marathon.  I am using the Brooks Hansons' training plan.  I used the Brooks Hansons' plan earlier this year to run a sub 3:10 in the L.A.
Marathon averaging 63 miles per week in the last 8 weeks (pre taper).

My Goal: Break 3 hours in a marathon for the first time!

Here are my stats so far (days run per week in parentheses):

Week 1: 11 miles (2 days)
Week 2: 26 miles (5 days)
Week 3: 37 miles (6 days)
Week 4: 45 miles (6 days)
Week 5: 40 miles (6 days)
Week 6: 53 miles (6 days)
Week 7: 60 miles (6 days including 13.1 mi. at the Rock 'n Roll Half Marathon)
