Do you force yourself to take 2-3 week period of no running each year to give your legs a break from the pounding? Why I ask: I am considering aqua jogging for 2+ weeks after my marathon because I want to stay in shape but don't want to break down this winter from overuse. The smarter voice in my head says this is a wise thing to do, the rest of me wants to keep running.

Foul. And you're a Mainer, no excuse. The Loaf is in Maine. The Bush is in Vermont.
I don't purposely do it but last Nov. when my mom was sick I took 4+ weeks off then when she died in July I took about 5 weeks off. Something always seems to happen that knocks me on my ass once a year. Here's to hoping 2009 doesn't have any of that crap.
