I just found your blog--- I am training for the Rock and Roll Half Marathon in Chicago on Aug 1 (so soon!) I am also from Chicago- and I just wanted to comment on how I completely agree with your training mentality- I am doing a Hal Higdon program as well and only run 3 days a week- I bike or do pilates/yoga/walk other days and I think that it makes me really look forward to my runs!

I ended up doing fine, but found the high mileage was kind of a shock to my system (i usually ran 25-mile weeks . . . so the 43 mile one . . . well, I was exhausted!). I plan to run another marathon in the fall. I think I'll follow the same plan, but yours makes me think to incorporate more x-training! During the marathon, I sustained a tendon injury in my left foot. I ended up only being able to cycle (at the gym) for three weeks after the race. But BOY did that work different muscles. So, it's definitely a good thing to do! I, too, followed Hal’s intermediate I program for my first marathon.
