A rare week off and back in the saddle

Well, after my 32 mile week, I realized I was one week ahead in the training. Last year, I also found myself ahead and added extra running weeks. This year, I decided to just take the week off. We'll see how that translates on marathon day. This week, I had a 26 mile week with a long run of 12 miles. This was the "step down" week in the training. Next week's a big week with 36 miles total for the week and long run of 18 miles!!
