[...] I walked for 3 or 4 miles to a nearby park to read a book, and then walked back. After the Mysic Places Marathon in Connecticut, I walked around New York City the day after. I basically walked until I was too [...]

[...] No matter how you cut that, it beats the 2:52:37 that I ran last Autumn in the Mystic Places Marathon. This was also a much easier race for me. Effort wise, it was on par or even easier than running the Vermont City Marathon this Spring. [...]

[...] Other times, the goals may be similar in nature but not related to completing each other. For example, I wanted to run a marathon under 3 hours, and I want to run a marathon in every state.

Run to Win » Break from Training after a marathon — Sat, 26 Nov 2005 22:04:12 +0000

[...] For my own training, I partly agree with Todd Henderlong’s opinion on the matter, and in fact took a month off after my last marathon.

[...] My month off from running will end on Friday (My last marathon was on October 23rd) so I can get a run in where I am going. I did my normal Monday workout this morning. I have no problem with not working out Thursday as I will be driving and will not have a lot of time as I meet up with family that I have not seen for a while. [...]
