If you look at my last 7 workouts on the right you might notice something missing. Running. I have racked up a total of 3 miles since I ran my marathon on July 30. 3 miles. They weren’t even very good miles as I recall. I think I need to do something about that but I’m not sure exactly when I’ll get
hahaha… so funny.
I need some cowbell, people. Way more cowbell.

You deserve a break after a marathon. Btw, I’ve been meaning to mail you a copy of my running skirt story. It’ll come, not to worry.
I just found your blog! I ran my second marathon in June and running in a half marathon in October! I was very excited to read your blog and your marathon report! Congratualtions! Finishing is everything. I’ll be back to visit again! Take care1
I think the running can take a bit of a backseat for now, as you’re now finding the joys of clipping in for cycling! I’m a scardy-cat when it comes to that. I’m hoping I can get over it, so I can do a Tri next year!
Marathon recovery can take 1 day for every mile that you ran. So you’re fine! The cross training with cycling and the clips is excellent. You’ll come back and feel better for the rest 🙂
I have been reading your blog for a little while, and find it quite interesting. I’d probably do the same thing you’ve been doing about your running–not running. Eventually you’ll get back to it. You’re probably burned out some from all the run training, so riding a bike seems fun again (even with the crashes).
I think you are wise not to run until the complete recover from the marathon. However you are not following a lazy schedule because the cross training is a good chance to stay in shape.
clang, clang, …
You are still cross-training and that’s not being lazy.
