I've been taking a sort-of "forced" week off from all exercise, other than biking to work, and so have not had anything to write about that's remotely running related. Alone with one kid for the week while Monica is out of town with the other means that I can't go out for any runs for that would mean leaving the wee one at home alone. So, this is OK. I've been saying that I would take at least a week off after
my last race and that is exactly what I am doing. Starting this Sunday I will begin training for
my first marathon, which is both a scary and exciting prospect. I wonder how my body, especially my foot, will hold up in the face of way more mileage? Will I be able to keep my speed in check so that I can increase mileage without incurring further injury? I will have to ramp up conservatively, though time is not on my side. 17 weeks and counting...

STWM was my first full last year and I'm going back for revenge this year. :)
I hope you're enjoying your break because you have 17 tough weeks ahead!
Have a great weekend!
I think taking a week off will do your body good, especially with marathon training around the corner. Listen to your body and be flexible with the schedule. You'll be fine.
Marathon training FTW! Enjoy your rest time, I'm sure it will help a lot!
Good luck with your marathon training. Hopefully that foot will cooperate with you.
Time for a treadmill purchase!
reast does a body good, even though we don't like to.
Glad you had fun in Ottawa, now rest up. You've got a great challenge ahead! ; )
