The Houston Marathon is next Sunday. I am debating with not running at all until then. The last couple of long runs have been difficult – I get to 8 or 9 miles and begin to run out of gas – guess the Dallas Mar 3 wks took a lot out of me. I have run a 17 miler and it about did me in – legs tired and achy. Sooo I am asking if it would be ok to not run at all this entire week but swim and spin instead and wonder if my legs would be more rested and ready to run that distance without hurting so much towards the end.

I have never done that before but i have never run two marathons so close together before either.

Oh yeah and it is very very cold here in Houston – 18 degrees this morning in Katy. I chose to stay in and rest.
