Today was a recovery run from my longer (only 13 miles total) weekend runs. My totals for tonight were 5 miles at 9:00. Very slow but thats what recovery runs are supposed to be, right?

ON the marathon training front, Im still looking for a good training plan. I have Jeff Galloways "Marathon You can do it" and there's a pretty decent plan but it calls for walk breaks during the long runs. Im just not sure that the walk breaks are for me.

The idea is to run 30 seconds/per mile faster during the marathon and then take a minute walk break every two miles. This is supposed to prevent the accumulation of too much lactic acid and to allow you to finish strong. Im sure its a good strategy for most folks but the thought of resting so frequently just doesnt sit well with me. My fear is that I will over exert my self with the faster pace and not really recover during the walk breaks.

Any way if any of you (all two of you) have a training plan you're willing to share feel free to send it my way. I will be most grateful.
