Rest Period

Today starts a 2 week rest period. Though I haven't been pounding too long, it is an essential part of my program. I train for 84 days and will peak on day 84 - the marathon. A two week rest period with light running for three days in the middle refrshes the body and gets it ready for the next marathon training. I can show you lots of former runners walking at the park because they never stretched or rested, over raced and overtrained. I intend to keep running to my end so I take much better care of myself.
